Scott Hallock is an acoustic singer/songwriter. With Bob DiGirolamo he is part of a duo team and band known as Tapping the Grey Sky. Their debut CD, "More Than I Can Carry," includes 13 songs written by the two artists. Like the Indigo Girls, Bob and Scott write separately and work out arrangements together, adding to each others songs. Both musicians play a variety of instruments on this CD including mandolin, harmonica, various percussion, acoustic/electric six and twelve string guitars as well as bass. Scott and Bob are accomplished singers and create rich strong harmonies on all thirteen songs. Guest artists on the CD are among some of the finest New Jersey musicians and add many textures to create depth to the tracks. Bob's song, "More Than I Can Carry" was chosen for the compilation CD, "NJ Bands Benefit for Children's Specialized Hospital." Scott's song, "Mr. Bear" was selected for the Poet Man Acoustic Rainbow Sampler #2, which received airplay worldwide. Recently, Mr. Bear was awarded 7th place in the 16th Annual Mid-Atlantic Song Contest sponsored by the Songwriters Association of Washington, DC. Response from fans indicates that some of the more popular tracks on the CD are "Where I Go," "All Alone," "Angels in the Sky," "Horse With Wings," and "As We Grow." Listening to the CD, it is apparent that Scott and Bob are influenced by the acoustic folk, rock and pop music of the 60's, 70's and 80's as well as the more contemporary music of the 90's. +

Scott Hallock Stories marks Scott’s first solo CD recording. It contains eight of Scott’s originals plus two songs by Curry College friends, Seth Miller (Red Line) and Jeremy Carter (Summer Rain), and ends with five banjo tracks by Scott’s great-grandfather, taken from a 1960’s vinyl record. One of the themes of Stories is family genealogy with photos and stories of relatives and ancestors. It gives a lot of background and insight into the influences that inspired the writing of these songs. The genre of music on Stories is mostly folk and acoustic with the exception of Giant and Have which are more rock-oriented. Have is layered with a lot of Beatles textures and Grandpa is a bluegrass song, which shows Scott’s versatility in songwriting. An added bonus at the end of the CD is a QuickTime video of Scott’s environmental song Believe It’s Real. In addition to this being a great listening CD, it also has a 21 panel booklet with great visuals. This is a great overall package that gives you a lot of extras for your money.
