About Me

Scott B. Bomar is a professional songwriter who been associated with Nashville based publishing companies Sony/ATV/Tree, Larga Vista Music and Green Hills Music while nurturing an independent singer/songwriter career from his current home base in Los Angeles. Inspired by Steve Earle, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Merle Haggard, Lucinda Williams, and Buck Owens, Scott’s brand of Americana roots rock led music critic Robert Oermann to dub him “the hillbilly Tom Petty” and to describe his most recent CD, “Radio Drive,” as “a rallying cry for honesty, roots and meaning in music.” Judges Gillian Welch and Jim Lauderdale awarded Scott and his wife Melanie second place in the Chris Austin Songwriting Competition at the Merle Fest roots music festival. In addition, he has been honored by the John Lennon Songwriting Contest and Jewel’s Soul City Café song competition. Scott’s songs have been heard from the Sunset Strip to the stage of the Grand Ole Opry, and on a number of national television shows and commercials. He has had songs recorded by Brooks & Dunn, Steve Seskin, and The Derailers. Recently, he appeared on a Music Row Democrats compilation album alongside The Mavericks, Todd Snider, Nanci Griffith, and others.
