Scott Free, the queer-rock singer/songwriter extraordinaire, is one of America's leading openly-gay male artists. His sometimes humorous, sometimes angry, always touching songs of queer life have gained him acclaim in both gay and straight media across the globe. His early forays into rap produced his first single 'Beat The Rap', who's video was on rotation on Black Entertainment Television. Scott's first full-length release was a complete shift in gears - an anthemic, queercore CD called 'Getting Off'. His second release 'The Living Dead' received 4 Gay/Lesbian American Music Award nominations. He received two Outmusic Awards in 2005. He was named Outmusician of the Year for his CD 'They Call Me Mr. Free' and his community activism. His song "Another Day of the Cruelty" was named Out Song of the Year. He received two Stonewall Society Pride in the Arts Awards in 2005 - Song of the Year (The Muffin Song) and Producer of the Year (Homolatte/Queer Is Folk Festival). He was also inducted into the Stonewall Society's GLBT Hall Of Fame in 2005. He was named the Windy City Times 2001 Artist of the Year. All three of his CDs have reached #1 on the Outvoice.net music chart. Scott has appeared on QTV "Queer Edge", Canada's MuchMusic video channel, and has been featured on National Public Radio's 'All Things Considered". He hosts the annual 'Alt Q' (an LGBT music festival) at the Old Town School of Folk Music in Chicago, now in its sixth year. He is the host and curator of 'Homolatte', the longest running queer performance series in the country, at Big Chicks/Tweet in Chicago.
