BIO
Skout a pair of Nashville-based best friends whose music was born out of a mutual love for nostalgia, unanswered questions, and deep conversations over coffee. While their melodies combine the best of indie-folk and pop, their show-stopping acoustic guitar work is a genre all its own. Skout began as Laura Valk’s solo project in New York City, where she first built a following and met now-bandmate Connor Gladney. With the guitar chops of Ben Howard, the live show energy of Johhnyswim, and the lyrical prowess of Phoebe Bridgers, the pair has topped the Spotify Viral charts online and garnered a loyal following in-person after years of touring.
