NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Verge recording artist Scott Stevens is badly in need of a neon-lit Friday night for a few reasons, and one main reason may surprise you! He shares in his latest single, “Neon on Ya,” available everywhere now, with a video premiere to be announced later this month.
The East Tennessee native explains, “I wrote this song because I wanted to take my wife out so badly. When I wrote it, we recently had our second child, our son John, and he’s an angel, but we hadn’t had a night out or any fun together in months.”
“For us,” he continues, “that’s a big deal because we both love a good time, live music and seeing friends. In my mind, and how I wrote this song, neon is a state of mind. An attitude. A confidence that we’re out here deliberately for fun, and for each other. That’s sexy.”
Early last year, Stevens caught the ear of Mickey Jack Cones, president and COO of Verge Records, the in-house label arm of global music solutions company ONErpm. Cones signed him to a label deal before realizing Stevens’ keen eye for directing, as well. “Scott is an artist in every sense of the word. So, when he came to us with this song and music video treatment, we felt like keeping its vision with its originator was the right move. Can’t wait for the world to see this video and hear Stevens’ forthcoming debut album, which is due out this spring.”

About Scott Stevens
East Tennessee native Scott Stevens is a husband, dad of three and self-declared “groove obsessed” country rocker. He blends rhythm, soul, loud guitars, and percussive lyric to produce his own unique sound. He’s been writing, producing and performing since his earliest days in the church, and then as a fixture on the college bar circuit at UT Knoxville. The college bar circuit led him to the University of Alabama, where he attended law school. After passing the bar (exam, not circuit), he moved to Nashville to make music. Only recently, however, did he land on the sincerity and frankness that’s come to define his best work.
