A Summer Evening with Scott Blasey

Scott Blasey, lead singer, songwriter, and guitarist for Pittsburgh-based rock band The Clarks, will appear for a special solo "after-hours" show at the library on Saturday, July 25 at 7:30 p.m. Doors will open at 7:00 p.m.

In addition to his success with The Clarks, Blasey has found an audience for his solo work. He's released three solo CD's, beginning in 1995 with Don't Try This at Home. His second disc, Shine, contains the regional hit Born Too Late. In 2007 he released Travelin' On, an eleven-song journey through rock and blues, county and R & B. With the help of producer Salim Nourallah (Old 97's), Blasey enlisted some of Dallas, Texas' finest musicians, including Chris Holt on guitar, to interpret the road-weary songs of a Pittsburgher living in Texas. He has since moved his family back to Western Pennsylvania and enjoys being part of this community.
