Scott Revey

Tell me a little about how you came to write the song. What inspired you? – This was inspired by a girl who runs Thistle Stop Café. I hang out there a lot, and she was telling me she was excited about her marriage to her longtime boyfriend. They had been in interaction for over a decade and now they were getting married at 25 or so. At the time, I had just gone on a third date, and she thought there was something there, and thinking about Courtney’s story, it totally wasn’t there. There’s also a whole spiritual thing there…because they found that relationship, they can contribute to society.

What motivated you to enter the RVU Records original song competition? – I want to play Rites! I love playing festivals, that’s my thing. I saw Prince at Coachella, and that was sick, but I don’t want to watch festivals, I want to play festivals! I want to be around other artists. Those are the coolest interactions. I want to be a part of the songwriting and music community here.

What will you do with the five free hours of studio time if you win? – I have an EP written and ready to go! I want to track live.

What is your favorite thing about the RVU Records studio? – I really like the room! It’s unassuming… you don’t even know it’s here, but once you step inside, there’s a vibrant community. I like small studios.

What is your favorite thing about playing music? – Honestly, I feel like I’m in outer space when I kick in that intro. That riff puts me somewhere magical.
