scott ivey
and them filthy filthy frets
Scott Ivey’s voice hits you straight in the gut—gritty, soulful, and honest. There’s a rawness there, something people like to compare to Chris Stapleton, but Scott isn’t chasing comparisons. He’s carved out his own lane, blending rock, country, and blue-eyed soul with a touch of 90s nostalgia that feels both nostalgic and new.
After decades in the game—writing, touring, fronting bands, and grinding through studios—Scott’s earned his stripes. A winner of the Belk Southern Musician Showcase (2016) and the John Lennon Songwriting Contest (2023), plus multiple honors from the International Singer-Songwriters Association, his songs have caught the attention of outlets like American Songwriter and Music Connection for their sincerity and emotional punch.
In 2024, Scott signed with Spectra Music Group, the world’s largest independent label. His debut Spectra release, Fair-weather Friend (January 31, 2025), introduced listeners to his signature blend of soulful grit and southern charm. Then, on January 10, 2026, he and The Filthy Frets dropped The Soak It Up EP—a confident, groove-driven follow-up that captures the band’s evolving sound and chemistry.
Backed by The Filthy Frets—seasoned players known for their tight grooves and electric live energy—Scott delivers shows that feel less like performances and more like experiences. Every note, every lyric, every beat connects.
For Scott Ivey & The Filthy Frets, this is just the beginning. The songs are honest. The sound is real. The vibe is soulful.
It’s music you don’t just hear—you feel it.
