Scott Jasper & Susan Garlick: DRAGONFLY MOON

earthy, mythic music inspired by the wild land...

About Me


Scott Jasper is a versatile musician, singer/songwriter,
composer, producer & energetic drummer with many years experience of playing a variety of drums and percussion instruments as well as guitar, didgeridoo, whistles and North American style wooden flutes.
He has played kit drums in a variety of rock, soul & blues bands over the years and currently writes, records & performs his own unique & highly original material both as a solo artist and as the duo 'Dragonfly Moon' with his partner, singer/songwriter & percussionist Susan Garlick.
Scott also leads highly successful and popular African drumming & singing workshops around the UK.

DRAGONFLY MOON, based in the Devon countryside, currently have two albums available on CD, "FULL CIRCLE: Songs of Change & Inspiration" (released November 2006) and "Tides" (released July 2005) which followed on from Scott's debut solo album "Earth Dreamers" (released May 2004). These powerful, evocative albums comprise lyric driven songs woven with contemporary songwriting, shamanic insight and the spirit of acoustic world instruments, creating an exciting & original blend of genre-crossing earthy, mythic music. Scott also collaborated with Medwyn Goodall in 2005 to create the instrumental "Tribal Nation".
