Jim Scott in Concert

Jim Scott Celebrates Indigenous People’s Day.


Jim brings his songs and his humor back to Belfast UU. Known as an activist and for his songs in the UU Hymnbooks, Jim is an observer of humanity and puts it all into music. He was guitarist and composer with the Paul Winter Consort for many years, and has dedicated the majority of his art to celebrating the Earth and nature. With a nod to the day, Jim will relate a bit to the Columbus Day holiday and Indigenous People’s Day, but we will get all sides of his creativity, including good old love songs. His music runs the gamut, but mainly you can be assured of songs of some consciousness - and humor.

Jim Scott has made it his business to create and perform music that celebrates peace, justice and the Earth with lyrical melodies and memorable verses. With the Paul Winter Consort, Jim was co-composer of their celebrated Missa Gaia/Earth Mass and sang their anthem song Common Ground. He has toured the world, recorded nine CDs of original music and published a growing line of choral works. Known to Unitarian Universalists for his anthem "Gather the Spirit" and other songs in the UU hymnbooks, Jim was one of the originators of the UU “Green Sanctuary” program and created the Earth and Spirit Songbook, an anthology of 110 songs of Earth by many contemporary composers. Jim plays a monthly “First Wednesdays” concert on Facebook and YouTube, and regularly creates posts of his musings and songs at Jimscott.Substack.com.
