‘Hold You Dear’ - a song for my Dad is out now!

Happy birthday today Dad, I miss you so much.

Thank you guys for listening and I’m all about sharing stories and reminiscing about this great man, my father, if you just reach out to me directly!

It feels good to share this song with the world today. 🤍

Appreciate UM Athletics pulling me in to help out with sound at Washington-Grizzly stadium. We optimized the system this week, did a variety of tests, and ran a great gameday production for 25,000+ fans. 🔊 🏈

Shout-out to longtime Missoula sound engineer Jay Straw, and the entire UM crew - I’m happy to be a part of it! Go Griz!

Jams of late and of old, cut to a recent rough jam take with Kevin and Fletch here at my studio.

This one’s for the fellow friends of the jam, the purveyors of good vibes, my collaborators in music.

Go jam with a buddy, brother, great aunt, or friend, it’s always good for the soul! by @scottmathson

I ran sound at the Adams Center for UM commencement ceremonies this weekend!

What a room to run sound in! Appreciate them trusting me to lead engineer their ceremonies. Multiple mics out for the primary speakers, name announcers, UM band, singers, and more - the house was filled with 2,000 proud graduates and about 20,000 in attendance between both ceremonies, with audio sent out to the livestream where another 6,000 viewed online.

Still reflecting on this big gig, and I’m so glad it went off without a hitch. A big thanks to longtime Missoula sound engineer (and early TRC business partner) Jay Straw and all of the UM team. I’m so appreciative to have been invited to be a part of their crew.

Congrats class of 2026!

Hold You Dear - a song for my Dad coming December 20, 2025 on what would have been his 75th birthday. 🤍

This clip has some footage of me playing the song at his memorial service and at open mics. In that sharing I found that we all can relate to grief.

Been working on something. I’m recording and releasing the song I wrote for my Dad after he passed. The most meaningful song I’ve ever written. 🤍 by @scottmathson

Photos from recording in my hometown Great Falls, where Montana All-State Music Festival was hosted. I was chosen as the new audio video live recording contractor for MHSA.

What an amazing weekend recording these talented musicians! I put a lot of time and prep into this, and set up, ran, and monitored 4 microphones and 5 video cameras spread throughout the auditorium and stage. Now I take all of that footage back to the studio to edit and put the official videos together, and then ship them out to the families!

I had a support crew helping with everything else that was required to make this event a success and I’m so grateful for them! My Mom setup and ran the recordings sales booth, stepdad Glen helped with setup/teardown and sales. Michelle is currently sick and had to sit this one out, yet hyped me up. Rick and former contractors answered all of my random questions about past years’ recordings. Thankful for my former GFHS Band Director @dustymolyneaux for hiring me to do this, and for the guidance he gave 15 years ago that led me to where I am today.

I took over ownership of The Recording Center one year ago! It was pretty awesome to have this big recording land right on that anniversary. Feeling reflective on the busy, fulfilling year that it’s been! Scott Mathson setting up audio recording taken in Mansfield Events & Great Falls Civic Center by @scottmathson

This was 2 years ago - open mic at the ZACC playing some of my originals. Nervous yet getting up there nonetheless.

Reminiscing on these moments as I get back into playing and working on my music more again!

At work at my studio collaborating with and helping others craft their music is so fulfilling and it also inspires and reminds me to not forget about keeping at my own music as well!

It’s good to put yourself out there, growth is right beyond fear. My own full-length album will come one day, for now it’s still in demoland and that’s okay!

Thanks for checking this old clip out. :-)
