Musical Endeavors of Committeeman Scotty Briggs

Two Upcoming Shows

2009-07-30T23:18:00.003-04:00

To celebrate the re-release of Me & Christopher, Scotty Briggs will play two shows with two different backing bands on two different nights in August.

Both shows will be available to all ages and take place at the 816 Pint & Slice in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

Pizza is the key to having an all ages show where beer is served to those eligible to drink. It's the punk rock way.

August 12 - with supporting players C. Ray Harvey, Lee Miles, and Kyle Morris. Other artists sharing the bill include Doby Watson and Matt Dills

August 17 - with supporting players C. Ray Harvey, Jon Keller, and Jon Ross. Other acts include Truman & His Trophy and Dr. Manhattan

So it's been awhile. Me and Christopher, the album, is being re-recorded and remastered for re-release very soon and two performances of the album will be done in August.

"Me & Christopher" to be performed in its entirety

2009-04-21T15:43:00.002-04:00

This might happen more than once... but it's going to happen for the first time this Friday night in Fort Wayne, Indiana at the infamous Brass Rail. Playing alongside acts New Pale Swimmers and The Rewinders, Scotty Briggs will play the album "Me & Christopher" straight through (and maybe some other tunes as well.) Mr. Briggs himself will play bass guitar, and a pair of fellows named Jon will play electric guitar and drums behind him. If you're old enough to spend a few dollars and have your mind blown by this first performance, then by all means get the hell out there on Friday.

"...And Girls" performed live

Scotty Briggs made an appearance at a local art opening last week and played some songs. Here is "Me & Christopher & Girls" performed as a one man band.

Me & Christopher

2009-04-10T15:07:00.001-04:00

Me & Christopher is a nine track narrative from Steve about his relationship with his best friend Christopher. Vernacular is used (swear words) and vocal inflection changes as the characters age. All the music was played by Mr. Scotty Briggs.

The Mothman (It's In His Eyes)

This was an old Scotty Briggs tune discovered on an answering machine tape that had been tossed into a thrift store box in Point Pleasant, West Virginia. Apparently the recipient of the call was in contact with The Mothman.

Yes, this mothman,
this mothman,
and this mothman.

Finally a fresh post. Borrowed a mic for the weekend. Laid down some hot fire. This one goes out to all my haters.

I swear to holiness I will begin regularly posting again soon. It's not for lack of songs, just lack of means to record songs.

Third post is a song I wrote and recorded last Saturday as a tribute to the Silver Jews, who apparently broke up last week.
