Scott Jasmin – Small Town Songs

March 9 – 7:30 p.m. ($15)
“Small Town Songs” is a collection of original Americana music by singer, songwriter and musician, Scott Jasmin. A folksy blend of styles, with hints of vintage pop, rock and even jazz, “Small Town Songs” invokes not only scenes from his childhood in Austin, Minnesota, but its music as well. The youngest of four boys, Jasmin enjoyed the music of the 80s as part of his teen years. But he also – almost by osmosis – has found 70s music “in my head and in my heart,” thanks to his older brothers, who introduced him to the likes of The Eagles, Poco and America. Three of his songs – “Small Town Life,” “Small Town Summer Nights,” and “Like Snow From Above,” will be offered on a sampler for sale at the show on Saturday. He hopes to record his entire album soon. Jasmin – a nurse – also operates his home-based Autumn Records. He is already thinking about a second volume of “Small Town Songs.”
