scott b. bomar: news

"This is a striking new voice. His Radio Drive CD knocked me right on my butt....an extraordinary listening experience and a rallying cry for honesty, roots and meaning in music....[He's] the hillbilly Tom Petty." - Robert K. Oermann, Music Row Magazine DISClaimer column

"Scott is a singer/songwriter with vision and heart that transcends mere music and lyrics." - Michael Kosser, American Songwriter magazine and author of "How Nashville Became Music City, USA"

"Bomar hooked me with....strong personal statements about love—found, lost, imagined, enduring, and spiritual. Radio Drive’s tasty guitars complement the grit of his voice, and his Hollywood cowboy perspective—a southerner exiled in Los Angeles—gives him a unique outlook. Ask him and he’ll tell you he loves Bruce Springsteen, Steve Earle, and Buck Owens. Listen to Radio Drive and you’ll hear that he walks it like he talks it. -- Jay Orr, music journalist, Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum
