Jim Scott has made it his business to create and perform music that celebrates peace, justice and the earth with lyrical melodies and memorable verses.

Years of activism are reflected in Jim’s work. His songs, poetry and short stories address issues of ecology, justice and peace with insight and gentle wit. For all his varied professional background, it is Jim’s lyrical songs that remain his greatest offering. He transforms any size audience into an intimate gathering with a guitar skill and disarming presence, and a sure hand.

From his work with the Paul Winter Consort where he co-wrote their celebrated “Missa Gaia/Earth Mass” and many other pieces, Jim has gone on to create an extensive body of work, recording 9 albums of original music. Jim’s visited more than 700 UU churches over 4 decades and his songs are in our hymnbooks (Gather the Sprit). Jim helped develop the Green Sanctuary program and wrote “The Earth and Spirit Songbook,” an anthology of 110 songs of earth and peace, as well as a growing line of choral music.
