Album Notes

Singer-songwriter Scott Sivakoff showcases his original folk rock music on this debut album, Different Directions. The CD features story songs that capture universally relatable scenarios such as the challenges of moving into another life phase or the isolation as a family grows apart over the years.

In addition to performing his original music, Scott has a flair for performing the music of Harry Chapin, one of his biggest influences. Scott has performed internationally with original members of Harry Chapin's band and the extended Chapin family, who value his extensive knowledge of Harry Chapin and his music. In fact, Different Directions features Harry’s brother, Steve Chapin, on keyboards.

Scott has also been an active participant in working for social causes for many years, performing in countless benefit concerts. As a member of L.U.N.C.H. (Local United Network to Combat Hunger), which uses the power of popular music to produce positive social action, Scott has raised thousands of dollars to help feed the hungry.

Also, Scott performs as part of a musical trio, Looking for Curly, with Larry Sprigg and Jerry Prince. Featuring vocals, guitar, bass, mandolin and keyboards, Looking for Curly plays a variety of music centered around '50's, '60's and 70's folk music and rock and roll. The music includes covers of popular folk music from musicians such as Simon and Garfunkel, Steve Goodman, Jimmy Buffet, and the Kingston Trio, mixed in with acoustic renditions of rock and roll songs of that era. Looking for Curly performances provide many opportunities for the audience to sing along to familiar songs, while also introducing Scott’s original songs.
