Scott August is a nationally acclaimed composer, producer, keyboardist and Native American flute player known for his unique blend of indigenous flutes, world instruments, and ambient soundscapes. His awards include a Native American Music award, an Indian Summer Music award and a New Age Reporter LifeStyle Music award for best Native-New Age recording.
August is touring in support of his new CD Hidden Journey. The CD is an exciting musical adventure of Native American style flutes, ancient Anasazi flutes,
tribal drums, Latin guitars, pianos, and an assortment of exotic world-instruments.
“In his performances, Scott August has what the Spanish call duende, a common, but difficult-to-define, term that means something like a special and unselfconscious “charisma” or “presence.” He can transport you to another level of experience—a characteristic of those with duende. It brings him repeated calls for performances at the grand natural stages of the Southwest – Grand Canyon, Canyon de Chelly, Monument Valley, Bryce Canyon – as well as at museums, festivals and institutions across the region.” Jay W.
