An upcoming concert at the Civic Arena on Feb 27 @ 7pm will highlight well-known country singers Bucky Covington and Sawyer Brown along with our local talent, Scott Allyn Peery. I had the privilege to catch up with Mr. Peery and learn more about him.
Scott's a local yokel who was born in Kansas City, MO and raised in Plattsburg, MO. He's been performing for a whopping 15 years, but can't figure out where his musical genius came from. As he says, he's the "only one in the family with musical talent".
Scott, or Scooter, as friends call him, is a unique self-taught artist who has written several of his own songs. He jams on the acoustic guitar, but loves to perform through the mic. He tells me that he enjoys watching his audience have a good time. He gets an "unexplainable rush" being able to interact with people who are dancing and having a good time reveling in his performance.
After talking with Scott, I knew he was a down-to-earth, friendly guy, but had no idea he was so popular guy with other well-known artists. I soon discovered that this singer has performed with many other well-known artists, including: Doug Stone, David Allen Coe, Bucky Covington, Ricochet, Shooting Star and soon to be opening up for Sawyer Brown & possibly Blake Shelton & James Otto. His biggest crowd was approx 8,000, and it didn't faze him a bit... (a natural performer!)
Althought he's a performer himself, he says it is too difficult to nail down a favorite artist or song, but says he enjoys anything by George Strait, Kenny Chesney, or Aerosmith. Aerosmith?! You heard it right, folks, this guy likes to rock on! You can catch him every Tuesday at Biggins Sports Bar, St. Joseph, MO with acoustic performer Casey Brett. He also performs every other Thursday starting 2/19 at Buffalo Bar, St. Joseph, MO with Casey Brett. Scott is working on lining up other venues, so be sure to check his website often for updates.
You can hear a sample of Scott's tunes, see some pics, and learn more about him through his website: http://www.myspace.com/scottallynpeery. You can even contact him to get a copy of his latest CD, Where I Want to Be.
My personal recommendation is that you head to the Civic Arena to see Scott Allyn Peery live and in action. You should see this guy perform!!!
