Semi-Finalist for the International Songwriting Contest

In a first for me, I am honored to have been selected as a semi-finalist in the International Songwriting Competition for my song, “Live Free”. This song is of deep importance to me and it means a lot to me to get this kind of recognition as a songwriter. Of course, a big thank you the Biscuits for helping to frame it with stellar performances on this track. If you have not heard it yet, go to any streaming platform and look up Jimbo Scott. They announce finalists in the next few weeks, so cross your fingers!

New Video: Criminal by Jimbo Scott and Yesterday’s Biscuits, live at the Fox Den

This version of Criminal is nearly 10 years in the making. Jimbo has been tinkering with this song since back when he was playing in the corner of crowded beer gardens. He always loved how heads would turn when his deep baritone would rumble with “I’ve been a bad bad girl”. The song has so much depth and is both complex and accessible all at once – a real treat for the band and a true testament to Fiona Apple’s unparalleled songwriting talent.

This performance features Jimbo Scott and Yesterday’s Biscuits, an all-star lineup of some of Northern California’s premier Americana musicians.
