Scott Sean White makes his home these days in Poetry, Texas, a perfectly named little town for a songwriter’s songwriter. His first album, "Call It Even," came out in April 2021, and Jack Ingram said, “Some songwriters spend precious time struggling to find their truth and make it rhyme. Others just pick up their guitar and tell it. Scott Sean White is one of the others.”
White is a storyteller both in his songs and the banter in-between songs, laying out his life experience - his faith and struggles - and intertwining it all with his craft. He also has two songs on the Cody Johnson album “Human” including “God Bless the Boy” and “Made a Home,” and a brand new one called “Over Missing You” that Cody just recorded for the deluxe version of his new album “Leather” and you can find it all over YouTube and TikTok because he’s been playing it as an encore song at his concerts recently. Scott also penned several Bryan Martin songs as well including “Poets and Old Souls” and “Wishbone.” Scott's own live show is starkly honest, transparent, and eye-opening - full of laughter and probably a few (good) tears, too.
His new album, “Even Better On the Bad Days,” which came out January 19th, debuted at #1 on the iTunes Singer-songwriter chart, and was produced by Grammy nominated producer Dave Brainard, who did Brandy Clark’s critically acclaimed masterpiece “12 Stories” album. "Even Better On the Bad Days” also features a song called “Hope You Never Do” which Scott co-wrote with Radney Foster, Eric Erdman, and Chad Wilson, AND... Radney sang harmony on it.
The reviews have been stellar…
“…when I reviewed White’s 2021 debut I said it was a good bet for the album of the year lists. Well, history repeats itself now with this fine and at times deeply personal follow-up, Even Better On The Bad Days…”

“…Powerful thinking and writing at its very best… a contender for album of the year”
- Lesley Hastings, Country Lowdown
“There isn’t a weak song in the bunch, not a sour note or blemish on a pear. The compositions have relevance. No filler. Great album, period.”
- John Apice, Americana Highways
“It’s as if Fred Eaglesmith and Jeff Black went out drinking together and stayed up all night talking, drinking sweet tea, and writing. Right? Vulnerable, gutsy, and intellectually sharp.”
- Marilyn Rea Beyer, host of Midnight Special, WFMT Chicago
