Concerts at the Watchhouse : Darrell Scott
Concerts at the Watchhouse: Darrell Scott
Enjoy an up close concert at Windy Hill Farm and Preserve ‘s Watchhouse with Darrell Scott on Saturday Octover 12th.
Multi-Instrumentalist and Singer-Songwriter Darrell Scott mines and cultivates the everyday moment, taking the rote, menial, mundane, and allowing it to be surreal, ever poignant, and candidly honest, lilting, blooming, and resonating. The words he fosters allow us to make sense of the world, what is at stake here, and our place in it. And ultimately, Darrell knows the sole truth of life is that love is all that matters, that we don’t always get it right, but that’s the instinctive and requisite circuitous allure of things, why we forever chase it, and why it is held sacred.
