Join The Repressions on Friday September 20th show at The Organic Grill, with the fantastic singing violinist Scott Tran!
Enjoy sweet songs while feasting on amazing food and drinks at Organic Grill. This cozy, welcoming atmosphere will feed your soul in many ways. All ages, No cover.
Scott Tran is a Brooklyn based violinist-singer-songwriter who has a diverse range of inspirations from Brahms, to the Beatles, to Ben Folds Five. Scott has performed his music as far east as the historic Bitter End and as far west as the Tempe Arts Center. In addition to performing his own music, he has accompanied and shared the stage with many other talented singer songwriters and as well as recording on their songs including Katelyn Richards, Petra Jasmiina, Johanna Telander, Nicole Nadine, and many others.
Having over 30 years of music education and performance experience, Scott has delved into multiple genres from classical to country to rock to pop, bluegrass and Irish fiddle, and even jazz. He studied classical music growing up in Nebraska and graduated with a Bachelor’s in Music. He became a fiddler in Phoenix, Arizona while continuing to play in symphonies locally and teaching privately. In 2010, he moved to New York to hone his skills as a singer-songwriter and was a three time featured artist in the Songwriters Circle Masterclass Showcase.
From playing fiddle in a band at the Revolution Lounge in the famous Las Vegas Mirage Hotel, singing in an a capella choir at Radio City to open for the Rockettes, or performing original music with just his violin and his voice at the historic Bitter End, Scott Tran is nothing if not diverse.
New YouTube video today! It;s “We Are The Strange Ones,” live, from their August concert at Rockwood Music Hall. It was a wonderful night with an incredible crowd.
This song is one of the most popular requests, and has been referred to as a second theme song of sorts (since there is already an official theme song.) Our society can make people feel like outsiders, simply because they care about things. If it is strange to care, that’s okay. We are strange. We’ll always care.
You can find the official track for this song on Spotify and all other music platforms, just click the links above.

Barbara and Nate met Aria at an Astoria Music Collective open mic and knew they were hearing a serious and special artist. This is going to be a fantastic show!
Aria Anjali is making a name for herself as a singer/songwriter and performer in the New York music scene. She’s 14 years old, but don’t expect kid music from her. An “old soul,” Aria Anjali writes about life, death, and the world around us. Her songs are haunting with pointed, often piercing lyrics. They will make you think, reflect and even shed a tear. Aria has been writing songs since she was 6 and performing at open mics and other venues since 2021. She has performed by invitation at numerous events in New York City, including Taste of Tribeca and Taste of the Seaport, at the Towne Crier in Beacon, New York and at The Hoot festival, an end of summer music festival started by Pete Seeger, in Cold Spring, New York . You can find Aria Anjali on Instagram (@AriaAnjali) and on most streaming platforms.
