====================

CHUCK FOSTER (KPFK's "Reggae Central") says in the new issue of THE BEAT MAGAZINE:

GILLI MOON (multitalented artist/author/founder of Songsalive!):
"An emotional yet powerful artist . . touched my heart immediately!"

REGGAE-REVIEWS.COM: "Turchin has a buoyant, inviting pop reggae sound -- with a Southern twang!"

Hey Y'all! Greetings I-and-I nation! Much love and respect.

Crazy, musically schizophrenic SCOTT TURCHIN began this life in a small Southern town, wandered throughout the rural South and for no good reason hopped a banana boat for Jamaica, where life turned into one great song after another.

All day, all night, Marianne. Or so it would seem.

Born to hardworking, intense New York City parents who brought him to California in the wild hippie 60s, Scott grew up on a steady diet of folk, rock and world music. He wanted to be a great folksinger like James Taylor, Cat Stevens, Neil Young and Leonard Cohen, so he started to played them on stage like they were his own, in many duos and bands, and later, inspired by Sting, Seal and Don Henley, he started to write.

Eventually, he began a relationship with the Guiding Spirit of Reggae music and the Rasta way and started to write music clearly inspired by the body of music from Marley, Tosh and Cliff to UB40.

Often compared to a wide range of artists, including Dave Matthews, John Hiatt, Johnny Clegg, Van Morrison, Steve Earle, Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, Tom Petty and Ben Harper, his SCOTT TURCHIN BAND plays throughout the Los Angeles area.

SCOTT's music has won recognition from local and national songwriter organizations, first album "SCOTT TURCHIN" earned "Editor's Choice" in both Roots Rock and Reggae from distributor CDBABY, and 2nd album RIVER CAN CRY has been racking up the awards on peer review site GarageBand.com! Former Director of the Westside Song Circle, Scott is also an actor in TV, film, voiceovers and stage.
