Scott Sean White Guest Speaker for June 14

Scott%20Sean%20WhiteSPEAKER: SCOTT SEAN WHITE

A prolific songwriter and performer, Scott has bodacious cred: owner/manager/performer for top party band Professor D; numerous song placements in TV series and movies; song placement in feature films and EA Sports video games; and writing and performing on Nashville’s music row.  Plus, he is co-writer with DSA member Bob Paterno on the DSA Song of the Year, “This Love!”

Scott will describe what it’s like to be a full time musician and songwriter – something most of us only dream about -- and will share what he’s learned in Nashville about the craft and art of songwriting. 

Take advantage of this wonderful opportunity to get the inside look from the industry pros at the DSA monthly meetings!

OCT: Heather LittleHeather Little was born in north-central Texas. She grew up all around Austin and Dallas and all the music that thrives there. "I just want to make good music. Whether it's rock or country or blues or earthy acoustic- good music moves people. That's what it's about for me. I write songs about my life and real life things; even the hard stuff. It has to be real. We live real lives. I write real songs about that." -Heather Little
