Review for Garcia and Scott:
Although sometimes hard to remember, Garcia and Scott had individual lives before the duo. Garcia toured the world for nearly eight years with Julio Iglesias, singing the duet “All of You” with him nightly. She says the experience was, “a world class education in music. I learned that the world really is your stage.” Garcia also had a record deal with Universal Music - Mexico and toured Mexico and the Southwest United States to promote her album, "Resandole A Dios." The lovely Garcia is a former Miss South Carolina. She was the first Hispanic to don the coveted crown.
In addition to playing music most of his life, Scott spent nearly 10 years in a public radio newsroom. He was a news director, reporter and producer working at NPR member stations in Murray, Ky. and Oxford, Oh. Scott produced 12 national news features for NPR. He says it was good training ground for songwriting, “I learned how to tell a complicated story in under four minutes. A well-written news story should grab you from the first sentence and keep you until the end...just like a good song.” Scott is the son of an original Nashvile Cat. Through his father Arliss' work as a musician, Scott was fortunate to be around folks like: Johnny Cash, Ed Bruce, Alabama, Earl Thomas Conley and dozens of other renown artists and songwriters.
