Scott Bywater is a kind of a music guy who writes a bit: a poet and singer-songwriter who plays guitar and dabbles in harmonica and anything else lying around. He writes songs about life, love, destiny and Cambodia. And water, lots of songs about water.
Besides solo work and hosting of open mics, he has his own bands Moi Tiet and the Scoddy Acoustic Trio, the duos Hills&Bells and The Sock Essentials, and has a Thursday residency leading The Extraordinary Chambers at Oscar’s on the Corner in Phnom Penh.
Along the way he’s been a founding member of The Cambodian Space Project, Joe & the Jumping Jacks, Channthy Cha Cha and the WASH collaboration.
At Bandcamp you can find his 2018 album, From shore to shore, and his 2019 EP Quietly blue.
His poetry blog, now over eight years old, can be found at thesilverpepperofthestars.wordpress.com.
