REVIEWS OF THEATER FOR THE WEARY

“[Scott Pryor] is perhaps the finest acoustic songwriter in Philadelphia right now. On Theater for the Weary, Pryor’s sophomore disc, he masters folk tropes that many artists spend careers cultivating...Like an East Coast Josh Ritter, Pryor pulls off delivering acoustic melancholia with a smile.”

--Jeffrey Barg, Philly Weekly

REVIEWS OF SUGGESTIONS FOR THE TAILOR

“Only one in ten singer-songwriters currently performing is truly worthy of our attention. Scott Pryor is that one in ten and he shows it on his debut collection, Suggestions for the Tailor. His guitar work demonstrates a range spanning the elegance of Nick Drake to the acoustic bash of the Violent Femmes. His melodic twists, lyrical content and stripped down production hint at everyone from The Beatles and Beck to Neil Young and Warren Zevon. Nonetheless the voice and tone are entirely Pryor’s…[His] songs are immediate and heartfelt…A&R reps may argue about the commercial viability of Pryor’s voice and songs, but that won’t matter. Everyone who hears them will already know just how valuable they are.”

--D. Napolitano, Lunar Groove Music Reviews

“Suggestions is a nice musical wardrobe for a talented young man at a musical crossroads. The 26-year-old Pryor…has written tunes that are muscular in spirit, undergirded by his earnest tenor and the introspective, tightly written songs. Like a modern-day Woody Guthrie, Pryor writes from various personas and tells powerful stories…He pushes even the casual listener to think.
