Scott Fagan
Scott Fagan is back with the reissue of South Atlantic Blues, his brilliant, lost 1968 debut album. Fagan will embark on his very first tour around Europe and UK with 21 dates confirmed. In Spain we will enjoy him live on Tuesday, October 25th at Razzmatazz in Barcelona and on Wednesday, the 26th, at El Sol in Madrid.
He will be backed on the tour by core members of acclaimed Scottish folk group, Trembling Bells—drummer Alex Neilson and guitarist Michael Hastings—who have also toured with Bonnie Prince Billy and Incredible String Band’s Mike Heron.

Fagan’s story is easily as compelling as his music. He grew up and lived in the Virgin Islands until 19, before returning to his birthplace, New York City, where he released his debut, South Atlantic Blues, an impassioned love story with dense, allusive lyrics and experimental production that infuses his folk song stylings with R&B, jazz and Caribbean island rhythms. Front and center on the record though is Fagan’s remarkable voice, rich with emotion and longing, which has been described as “somewhere between Scott Walker, Tim Hardin, early Bowie and Donovan”.
Discovered, managed and mentored by songwriter Doc Pomus in New York at age 19, Fagan recorded early sides for various record companies and almost became the first artist other than the Beatles to be released by Apple Records, before landing a deal at Atco for South Atlantic Blues with folk rock manager Herb Gart. He later co-wrote Soon, the first rock musical produced on Broadway, which starred a young Richard Gere in his first acting role.
A legend, one of those artists who resurfaces years later to let us live its history on and off the stage. A luxury for discerning palates will be able to enjoy for the first time in Spain Scott Fagan.
