Scott Von writes music at the crossroads where roots music meets modern american folk. Stomping boots and stirring grooves from the roots tradition, stripped down songs from the folk tradition, and a stage show that inspires. Vance Gilbert said of Scott: "So here I am standing around at this Folk Festival stage where there were a bevy of singer-songwriters when this guy takes, and then absolutely rules the stage in the space of half of a first verse. All back-of-the-room conversation stopped, including mine, and I heard whispers go from “who is this guy?†to “where can I see him again?†That was my first Scott Von experience, and I’m a fan for life, and I DO this for a living…â€- Vance Gilbert. Another reviewer recently wrote: "What I heard and saw in Scott Von was a pure, unfettered, joyful expression of life. He made me want to hug my kids, kiss my sweetheart, and change the world. He is that pure, that authentic, and that infectious. If there's something other than singing that he is supposed to be doing here, it's hard to imagine what that might be..." - Rachel Snyder.
