ABOUT SONGCRAFT
Songcraft: Spotlight on Songwriters is a bi-monthly podcast featuring in-depth career-spanning interviews with songwriters of various genres and eras. The show was launched in 2015 by Scott B. Bomar and Paul Duncan. Scott and Paul started Songcraft as a forum for everyone from casual music fans to fellow creative types to hear songwriters in conversation about their influences, the stories behind their songs, and how they've honed their craft.
SCOTT B. BOMAR
is a three-time Grammy nominee and former staff songwriter at Sony/ATV who switched gears to become a researcher, reissues producer, and award-winning author of music-related books. He has co-written titles with Rock & Roll Hall of Famers such as The Byrds, Wanda Jackson, Lamont Dozier, and The Zombies. Additionally, he created The Bakersfield Sound, a 224-page book and 10-CD collection that the New York Times named the "Best Box Set of the Year." Scott spent 7 years as the Senior Director of the book publishing arm of the global music company BMG. Raised in Nashville, he now lives in Inglewood, California when not escaping to his mountain cabin in the nearby town of Idyllwild with his wife and German Shepherds.
