It’s Mad Lib Monday at ChinaShop, where they fill in the blanks and we make up the rest. Check out our exclusive portraits and listen to some brand new music.
NAME: Scott Bartenhagen
LOCATION: Lathrop, California
RECORD LABEL: Unsigned
That’s Scott on the left in the back. The giant fellow. The troubadour. The dude with a knack for jazzy folk phrasing that’ll have you reaching for your Jackson Browne and Geoff Keezer albums. He’d like you to check out a track of his called “Beacons,” which you can listen to and download here. Two years ago, he released an album called Ten Songs Ten Men, which he dedicated to “a bunch of dudes I have not met,” and which you can check out here. You can also watch out a video of him performing a tune called “Roll The Dice” at a cafe in Modesto, California. I guess what we’re trying to say is, Scott is way talented, and you should really get to know him.
