Scott Severin redefines eclectic. Born "sometime during the Kennedy administration," this songwriter/performance artist has been a folkie, punk-rocker, actor, street performer, and published poet. Encompassing and eviscerating musical styles from Country & Western, Rock & Roll, Blues, Folk, and Tom Waits-like mock opera, the only thing definable about Scott Severin's sound is that it's truly original and challenging.

Scott has recorded and released his debut album, Unknown Rider, and has returned to live performance after a 10-year absence from the stage, caused by, he says, "a really bad cold." Recorded in the town of Kingston, New York, Unknown Rider was produced and mastered by the legendary producer and musician Steve Burgh, who tragically passed away a few months after completing the album.

After being a life-long New Yorker, Scott relocated to Nebraska in 2005, "to clear his head." Since moving to Omaha, he has established himself as one of the best "new" songwriters and performers in town, earning the praise and respect of his peers and an ever-growing fan base. Both as a solo artist and with the Scott Severin Band, Scott has performed numerous times at The Sokol Underground, Mick's Music & Bar, O'leaver's, and virtually every other musical venue in Omaha, as well as making appearances in Lincoln, NE. Scott's temporary exile to Nebraska may prove permanent with the birth of his first child in late 2005. On the horizon are a new CD (in the planning and writing stages), more shows, and a regional or national tour.
