What’s ready and available
THE MUSIC PAGE is in process Music has meant the world to me, and I’d love for some of it to be in your world. Many styles of acoustic and electric, but my main passion has been to write songs, bring them to life, and give them their journey as ripples. I have a new album I’ll be dropping this year. ~S.
Who?
I’m Scott Beckwith. I’ve put it on the road whenever I could, built a thousand guitars, been a seeker, gone back to the land, and made a lifetime of music. It all comes out in the words and chords, wood and wire, and inspiration I share from New Shanti, my rural 1800s north Adirondack homestead. It’s been an unusual journey I’m very grateful for and thank YOU for stopping in! Welcome to my world.
I still own and manage Birdsong Guitars, and they’re still made in Texas by Head Luthier Jake Goede. Contact me for all of your Birdsong questions and needs. My own “Scott Signature” line of shortbasses, named after the signed headstocks (since the ‘90s!), other stuff I occasionally build, PLUS info on music I’ve released and published books, is all in here! Best and blessings to you and your circle. ~S.
