“Scott Fagan Sings Stephin Merritt”

January 30, 2014 Leave a comment

Dear Friends,
Here’s an unusual “smiley” photograph taken at a recent Christmas gig. The only other “smiley” photo of me was on the back of the RCA Album “Many Sunny Places”. That smile was directly related to the 3/4 empty bottle of Mount Gay Rum there in the foreground. This new “smiley” one popped up I guess because well..we were playing a big benefit Christmas Dance, people were really having a ball and I just Love Christmas!Scott Fagan at Christmas Gig 2013

Our “Scott Fagan Sings Stephin Merritt” album project on kickstarter is generating interest in the media.
Here are six little articles about it, and a link to the project on kickstarter. Please take a look, it will be a great and historic album, the boy writes great songs and I intend to sing the holy heck out of ’em.
