Биография

Caught halfway between amplified Americana and heartland roots-rock, Jason Scott & The High Heat create a sweeping, dynamic sound that reaches far beyond the traditions of their Oklahoma City home. Too loud for folk music and too textured for Red Dirt, this is the sound of a genuine band rooted in groove, grit, and its own singular spirit, led by a songwriter whose unique past a Pentecostal upbringing, years logged as a preacher-in-training, and an eventual crisis of faith has instilled both a storyteller's delivery and a unique perspective about life, love, and listlessness in the modern world. 
Castle Rock marks Jason Scott & The High Heat's full-length debut. Like the band itself, the album represents a melting pot of influences: the heartland sweep of Tom Petty, the story-driven Americana of Jason Isbell, the nostalgic hooks of '90s country music, the sharp songwriting of James Taylor, and John Prine's lyrical mix of cutting insight and laugh-out-loud humor. Co-produced by Jason Scott and Taylor Johnson, the album mixes classic song structures with left-field arrangements, creating a sound that soothes one minute and subverts the next. 
Castle Rock named after the town in which the frontman temporarily resided after leaving the church reaches past those accolades, celebrating the seismic shifts that arrive with new experiences, new bandmates, and new songs. It's an album about change, delivered by a band of musicians who are willing to chase down their own horizons.
