Introduction:
In the latest heartfelt and vibrant episode of Unleashing the World of Music and Poetry, host Tammy Bowers—also known by her warm stage name, Goldie—welcomed a familiar and cherished guest: Scott Haggard, son of the legendary Merle Haggard. Known for carrying on his father’s legacy while carving a heartfelt path of his own, Scott gave fans and followers a front-row seat to his latest creative efforts, his personal journey, and a touching live performance that resonated deeply with listeners.
Scott had just come off a long day in the studio, pouring himself into two new songs, and he was generous enough to share one of them—Beer Me Up Scotty—with viewers. Produced by the incredibly talented David Norris, this track promises to be an instant honky-tonk classic. With its catchy title and raw country charm, Beer Me Up Scotty captures the spirit of escapism and emotional release that defines traditional country music. David Norris, described as a songwriting machine, also co-wrote Home Again with Scott, Sonya, and her son Lawson—a song that dives into the emotional terrain of returning to a childhood home now filled with memories rather than people. It’s a poignant reflection on loss and longing, beautifully narrated through Scott’s smooth vocals and sincere delivery.
Beyond the studio, Scott has been keeping busy in Nashville—writing, performing, and promoting his brand with passion and authenticity. His popular “Second Generation Outlaw” t-shirts, now available online, are a proud nod to his heritage and his hard-earned place in the world of music. Fans can expect an album release soon, one that Scott hinted will be available for purchase alongside the merchandise.
A heartwarming highlight of the evening was Scott’s recounting of a chance reunion with his half-brother at Music City Bar & Grill, where they both took the stage and sang their hearts out—proving that talent and connection run deep in the Haggard family. Their encounter offered a touching glimpse into familial ties strengthened through music, and reminded fans of the enduring spirit behind the Haggard name.
Upcoming tour stops include Kokomo, Indiana, and Muskogee, Oklahoma—the latter being the site of his big single release event on June 19th at the Civic Center. These performances are more than concerts; they are invitations to experience Scott’s journey live, as he channels both his roots and his own unique storytelling style.
The evening closed with a live acoustic performance of Twinkle Twinkle Lucky Star, a soft, melancholic ballad that left listeners moved and grateful. As always, Tammy brought heart, humor, and warmth to the conversation, making it feel more like a fireside chat than a formal interview.
Scott Haggard’s presence on the show was not just a musical appearance—it was a reminder of why we fall in love with music in the first place. Honest, grounded, and full of soul, Scott continues to honor his father’s legacy while building one of his own. Whether through new releases, touching stories, or spontaneous live performances, he keeps the flame of classic country burning bright.
