This month's guest Scott B. Bomar grew up in Nashville before relocating to Los Angeles and becoming a staff songwriter at Sony/ATV Music. He moved to the other side of the desk to work for Universal Music Group before going to BMG, where he's now the Senior Director of the company's music-related book publishing efforts.  Scott has worked on projects with the Library of Congress' National Recording Archive, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, the Country Music Hall of Fame, Gibson Guitars, the Grammy Museum, Ken Burns' Florentine Films, Leiber & Stoller Music, SiriusXM, Omnivore Recordings, Bear Family Records, and others. He was nominated for a Grammy award for his album notes for the compilation The Other Side of Bakersfield (which he also produced). Additionally, his 2019 box set The Bakersfield Sound was named one of the best of the year by the New York Times, Variety, and Rolling Stone, and earned Scott a second Grammy nod.  Along with Paul Duncan, Scott co-hosts the bi-weekly podcast Songcraft: Spotlight on Songwriters, featuring interviews with over 150 writers such as Smokey Robinson, Elvis Costello, Loretta Lynn, David Crosby, Steve Earle, Valerie Simpson, Bill Withers, and more. Scott splits his time between Idyllwild and Inglewood, California, where he lives with his wife Melanie and his two big dogs Jean and Ferlin.  Further Links: Online Exhibit: www.bmoa.org/current Bomar’s Website: www.scottbbomar.com Bomar’s Podcast Songcraft: www.songcraftshow.com   Social Media: Instagram: @scottbomar Twitter: Songcraft Podcast Facebook: ScottBBomar
