Now, he\u2019s heading east to find new opportunities in Nashville, Tennessee.<\/p>\n<p>Scott said he plans to spend the entire month of May in Nashville, colloquially known as Music City for its central role in the the music industry. While down there, he plans to audition at local venues and gigs, perform at as many open mic nights as he can find, record new music and network to build connections within the industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s kind of a cliche, but Nashville really is a hub for the music world,\u201d he said. \u201cThe idea for the trip has honestly been in the back of my mind, and I finally decided now was the time.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Scott said he doesn\u2019t yet have many definite plans, but has already identified a number of popular locations that he hopes to audition for, including Tootsie\u2019s Orchid Lounge on Broadway.<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, he said his goal is to simply build connections in the industry to hopefully allow for return trips in the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think my goal mainly to network and get my foot in the door so that I can go back,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019d love to get some repeat gigs.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The local artist is also working on a new, still-untitled project to follow up his 2023 debut album \u201cHeathens.\u201d Scott said he hopes to record and release some of the songs on that project as an EP while in Tennessee too.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis new project will be a bit poppier than \u2018Heathens,\u2019 where I was going for an outlaw country sound,\u201d he said. \u201cA lot of the songs on [the new project] are songs that I was actually writing at the same time as I was writing \u2018Heathens,\u2019 but that just didn\u2019t fit on that one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Scott\u2019s musical roots stem from his youth, when his brother and neighbors were both guitarists. Scott eventually decided to learn how to play, and he said it was love at first strum. He eventually began writing his own songs and performing throughout the Casper community, where he\u2019s lived for most of his life.<\/p>\n<p>As he continued to learn and grow as a musician, Scott developed his own sound, which he describes as a bluesy style of southern rock. He points to a number of inspirations, both contemporary and of yesteryear, including The Lumineers, The Revivalists and The Black Keys.<\/p>\n<p>Over the years, Scott became entrenched in the local music scene, regularly playing at events and venues and garnering a following in the area.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cA lot of the songs I write stem from personal experiences,\u201d he said. \u201cSome are a little more abstract, from a third perspective, from the outside looking in.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Before his trip in May, the Casper community will send him off with a concert at Oil City Beer Co. Funds raised will go to help support him on his trip. The concert is scheduled for Feb. 28, with doors set to open at 5 p.m. and music kicking off at 6 p.m. Artists will include Chad Lore, Aquile and Scott himself.<\/p>\n<p>Scott said he\u2019s most looking forward to testing himself on a bigger stage than he\u2019s used to.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve never done anything like this, and I\u2019m a little bit nervous but mostly excited,\u201d he said with a smile. \u201cI\u2019m excited to step out of my comfort zone.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><h3 class=\"jp-relatedposts-headline\"><em>Related<\/em><\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<section id=\"block-49\" class=\"below-content widget widget_block\">\n<\/section><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"pmdelayedscript\" data-cfasync=\"false\" data-no-optimize=\"1\" data-no-defer=\"1\" data-no-minify=\"1\">\n\t\t!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n\t\t{if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n\t\tn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n\t\tif(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n\t\tn.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n\t\tt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n\t\ts.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n\t\t'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n\t\tfbq('init', '4210773209134215');\n\t\tfbq('track', 'PageView', {\"page_title\":\"Following the music: Local artist Zack Scott to seek new opportunities on Nashville trip\",\"user_role\":\"guest\",\"event_url\":\"https:\\\/\\\/oilcity.news\\\/arts-2\\\/2026\\\/02\\\/16\\\/following-the-music-local-artist-zack-scott-to-seek-new-opportunities-on-nashville-trip\",\"post_type\":\"post\",\"post_id\":371735});\n\t\t<\/script><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source oilcity.news \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>THANKS TO OUR COMMUNITY PARTNERS CASPER, Wyo. \u2014 Over the years, Casper area artist Zack Scott has become a beloved and popular member of the local music scene.
