Scott Kirby 2026 with all Proceeds to go to the TRMA Artists Relief Fund
note, VIP IS SOLD OUT, if you register as VIP after 3/17 we will not be able to insure a VIP option for you unless there is a cancellation. Than you for understanding.
NOTE – while we have a suggested donation, as this is specifically a fundraiser for the TRMA Artists Relief Fund we encourage you to consider a higher donation to help all our artists! Make sure to see the special raffle item as well!!!
I am going to start out with the specifics of the purpose of this show – it is a fundraiser for the TRMA Artists Relief Foundation, and all of Scott’s Merch Sales will go towards the fund, and all proceeds of the show from the gate (above his travel expenses) will also go to the foundation!
So what is the TRMA Artist Relief Foundation?
The TRMA Artist Relief Foundation provides a financial safety net of critical assistance for independent musicians in times of need.
The Foundation’s services and resources cover a wide range of financial, medical and personal emergencies.
The TRMA Artist Relief Foundation also focuses the resources and attention of the independent music industry on human service issues that directly impact the health and welfare of the music community.
If you are unable to come to the show, but would still like to contribute, contact us and we will arrange it. and if you are interested in participating in the special raffles (see further down) and purchase tickets, we can arrange that – you don’t need to be present to win and you will help an artist!
About Scott:
Singer, songwriter, guitarist, storyteller, traveler and road warrior are all words that aptly describe Scott Kirby. Finishing songs while driving through the Italian countryside, performing 100 plus live shows throughout the US and Canada, touring Ireland with 50 fans in tow, and recording his tenth album in Nashville, all keep the barnacles off this modern-day troubadour.
Kirby started writing songs after some inspirational late-night words from legendary songwriter Shel Silverstein and further encouragement from Peter Mayer, who had just joined the Coral Reefer Band. A year later he found himself recording his first CD, Too Damn Yankee, in Jimmy Buffett’s Shrimpboat Sound Studio with Peter and Jim Mayer and Roger Guth. “This was a very lucky break for me, but I was in a bit over my head,” says Kirby. “Peter, Jim and Roger were incredibly patient with me and it was a fantastic learning experience.”
When it comes to songwriting, Kirby respects authenticity and counts on everyday life and his coastal roots for much of his inspiration. “I don’t wake up every day thinking about writing the next commercial hit,” says Kirby. “Songwriting for me is about telling stories, expressing emotions, and commentary on things I may find funny or absurd.”
Over the years Kirby has shared the stage with some of his favorite artists: Carole King, Jimmy Buffett, Tom Rush, Mac McAnally, Darius Rucker, Livingston Taylor, Marty Stewart, Asleep at the Wheel and others. When not on the road or performing in Key West, Kirby splits his time between Key West and the coast of Maine, where he can often be found sailing, a lifelong passion of this descendent of Newfoundland fishermen. He’s also recently discovered a little town in Southern France, where he plans to lay his head a month or two each year.
Yes, Scott Kirby is—as he readily admits—lucky enough.
