Official Website |
Jeff Dame
of Northeast In-Tune has said this about Hilary and
her music: "Hilary has the potential to be as big as
the likes of Alanis Morisette, Tori Amos, or Sheryl
Crow. Listen to her now and you can 'I've been in
from the beginning.'
"[Hilary Scott's] music features
introspective writing and a clear, soulful
voice...with influences in blues, folk, pop, rock
and classical" (Liz Van Hoosen, Columbia Daily
Tribune). Billy Burns, former drummer for Ray
Charles says, "Hilary's voice communicates so much
in and of itself. I see artists all the time, some
with potential, some without....Hilary has the
proverbial 'IT!' "

Jonatha Brooke, Little Feat, and Tanya Tucker.
