Scott Sean White is an Americana songwriter whose songs deal with faith, love, mental health, and the hard-earned wisdom of adult life. A Texas native raised in Kerrville, White spent decades writing before releasing his first album at 53, joining a line of late-blooming artists like Bonnie Raitt who grew into their sound with time. Along the way, his songwriting chops earned him cuts by country superstar Cody Johnson, and up-and-comer Bryan Martin. These days he spends much of the year on tour, putting over 60,000 miles a year on his car, carrying his songs to listening rooms and small stages across the country.

​

White’s latest album, Days Are Long (2026), leans into warm country grooves and big, open choruses without losing his feel for quiet, intimate details. Songs like “She’d Be the Bible,” inspired by his wife of 35 years, explore enduring love with tenderness, while “Piano for Sale” traces a lifetime through the story of an old church piano. “Little Bit of Luck” is a hopeful and prophetic song about a young couple in love, starting out small, but dreaming big.

​

His songs come from paying attention to conversations, to stories, and to his gut. He distills everyday moments into songs that feel both personal and recognizable. Days Are Long follows his earlier releases Even Better on the Bad Days (2024) and Call It Even (2021), continuing a body of work defined by honest observation and lived experience.

 

He makes his home these days in Poetry, Texas, a perfectly named little town for a songwriter’s songwriter, and, for 22 years now, has been traveling back and forth to Nashville two weeks a month to write.
