Scotty Horey
Solo Percussion Artist
Scotty Horey's artistic focus is his work as a unique solo percussionist and composer. His solo concerts are an interesting mix of different musical traditions and instruments that lead the listener to a path to the center of his heart, and aid in his true expression. Scotty’s music, not limited to one genre, is truly unique. The flow of one of Scotty's concerts includes styles of classical, contemporary classical, progressive rock/jazz fusion, latin, and new age, with the sounds of expressive solo marimba, rock drumset, energetic snare drums, colorful synthesizers, electric guitar, violin, and flute, all traveling through driving grooves, angular modernism, virtuosic and physical percussion, and the essence of spacious harmonies. Scotty frequently enjoys performing original compositions, *and* pieces written by other composers, in the same evening presentation. His original compositions are often accompanied by personally reflective and sentimental spoken narratives.
Typically favoring music/percussion festivals, university events, arts events, and live music venues, notable appearances as a featured solo artist have taken place in the U.S.A., Portugal, Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Poland, Denmark, Greece, Costa Rica, and Argentina, and include: The International Percussion Festival Patagonia, The International Percussion Festival Salvador, The Marimba2010 International Festival and Conference, The VI International Encontro Latino Americano De Percussao Festival, The Spark Festival for Electronic Music and Arts, The First Annual Costa Rica Festival of Percussion Ensembles, The Schubert Club Concert Series, the FineLine Music Cafe, The Bedlam Theater, and many Universities throughout the U.S.A. and Latin America. Recently, Scotty became a prominent American presence at two very important festivals in the traditions of Mexico: The International Festival of Marimbists of Chiapas in 2021, and the International Festival of Marimbists of Comitán in 2022.
