Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays, everyone!  

It is a special season for me because I made my first Christmas record this year!  I've always wanted to, as this is one of my favorite times of year.  It seems everyone truly slows down long enough to smell the roses.  Even the biggest Grinches out there can't help but give Santa a little wink & a smile.  

Thanks to everyone involved for sharing their talents with me.  My brother, Chance Scoggins, played a key role alongside me, producing; as did Doug Beiden.  Chris Brush produced "Silent Night" featuring my duo, Paige & Palermo.  Fabulous singers & friends lended their amazing voices for the choir on "O Come Emmanuel" and "We Wish You A Merry Christmas".  So much fun!

I decided to create my own arrangements of Classic songs, and I wrote a couple of new songs, too.  Track 1 & Track 6 are the originals.  Here's a preview of "Holiday".  You can find physical copies in the Store.

I imagine families putting up their trees and drinking hot chocolate, unwrapping presents, as we did as youngins, while listening to Kenny & Dolly's, "A Christmas to Remember".  That is a sweet thought that warms my heart.  Still to this day, Christmas is not Christmas without hearing the bells in "I'll Be Home With Bells On".  I hope my music will become part of your Christmas memories.  May it bring you lots of joy!

I also had the pleasure of being the star of the new Overstock.com Holiday campaign.  If you haven't seen it on TV yet, you can check it out here.  Making it was great fun!  Director, Matt Hodgson's vivid imagination came to life as a couch was magically transformed into a sleigh ride.  Please enjoy!  (Here's the Thanksgiving version, as well.)

As I write, it is December 22nd.  I'm at my home in Nashville, TN.  Just finished wrapping my last presents for my 2 nieces, Jalen & Emmy.  My heart is full from a year filled with major ups & downs.  I find myself so thankful for good health, the ability to make music my job after all these years, for good friends who've been around for what seems like many moons, and happy memories of a family full of support and love.  I'm not saying everything's always perfect.  But, it IS all mine.  And, for that, I am grateful.  :)

Cheers to you & yours.  Merry Christmas and Happy Everything!  

Love,

Time for some new music...

Hello, 2012!

I know, I know. I’m supposed to update this page every day, like, 5x’s, to keep you interested. But I’m calling Bullsh*t. I’ve subscribed to tons of musician blogs & read their posts, and more often than not, I find myself leaving the post thinking, “I will never get that 10 minutes back…” So, in an effort to help you manage your time more wisely, and an equal effort to NOT talk about nothing, I choose to update this page whenever my little heart desires. I choose to believe that you have an attention span longer than the average bear, and that if you’re interested in what’s up with me & my music, you are smart enough to type my name into that little space in the top, right-hand corner of your computer...you know, the one that says “Google” and see what’s up. Are you cool with that? I sure hope so.

Quick, quick. Here’s my deal:

1) I’m making a record with Coury Palermo as Paige & Palermo. It’s pretty cool. Not gonna lie. I think you’re gonna like it. ;) www.facebook.com/paigeandpalermo  If you’re on Facebook, please join us for updates.

2) I’m writing lots of songs, which will probably turn into a JP record here soon. Sooner than later, I hope.

3) Also writing lots of songs for film & television projects, and licensing music for advertising campaigns. You may be hearing me more than you realize these days! ☺

4) I’ve been writing for other artists, as well.  Here's one I co-wrote with Smash Mouth!

5) Basically, I’m moving, shaking & hustling. All those motivational quotes on Twitter are clearly rubbing off on me. I am ONE with my potential. Om.

And, I am happy. I hope you are, too.

All for now…see you in 2013! Or, maybe a lil bit sooner. ☺

Come see me & make sure to say Hello!

Paige & Palermo

Hey Kiddos!

I hope that you are staying warm & filling your cup with lots of hot chocolate. You know those freezing, cold nights are right around the corner...let's start this thing off right! Where are my flannel jammies? ;)

This is a quick update to tell you about my new band, Paige & Palermo. This will be available on iTunes November 30th! It was so much fun to reimagine the timeless Classic, Silent Night.  I hope this helps to get you in the spirit!
