Touring for a living discussion with Scott Gilmore from Fox and Bones.

Scott & Sarah have brought their optimistic Americana polish to international stages since 2016. As DIY artists they have performed at both small and large stages bringing their own unique blend of energetic offbeat folk with a retro-tinged, soul-stirring, modern vintage edge. Their hardworking artistic songwriting has earned them 1st place at the 2023 Tucson Folk Festival and 2nd place in the International Acoustic Music Awards. Scott talks about preparing for the road and what the workload is like being touring musicians.
