Catch Of The Week: Scott Alan Savoy
Meet Scott Alan Savoy from Athol, MA
He’s a little bit country and a little bit western…if we are talking about MetroWest, or Western Mass. Scott Alan Savoy is a singer/songwriter who’s grown up with a mix of musical influences from classic country to rock, folk and pop. He emotes an ease and sense of comfort in his music. It’s as if there was never any question he should be doing this. Savoy’s laid-back Alan Jackson meets Gordon Lightfoot kind of vibe is serves the busy musician and family man well.
Sounds of Savoy
Scott’s original song, “Ain’t What It Looks Like” puts a softer spin on the done-me-wrong song. His vocals weave in and out, as if they were emotions ebbing and flowing; sharing pain and acceptance in the story.
