TRANSFORMING LYRICS AND MELODIES INTO VIVID SNAPSHOTS OF LIFE, SCOTT ORR RELEASES HIS SECOND OFFERING, MILES FROM TODAY ON AUGUST 28TH, 2007.

This self-produced, folk-rock album displays both ambition and obsession from the Canadian singer/songwriter. This twelve-song album builds on the foundation of the organic, acoustic melodies and unassuming vocals of Orrâs previous efforts. The light-hearted, love-won-love-lost themes are still present on songs like; âLove Is A Dreamâ and âWondergirlâ. But Orr surveys the landscape of social justice and pain, as well, in moments like, âDonât Want To See That Againâ a track inspired by the experiences of Orr's post-Katrina visit to New Orleans.

The forthcoming release boasts a host of wonderfully unique songs that reveal maturity and growth in Orrâs writing. âThatâs how the record took over a year to make," Orr explains. "It was really important to me not to just settle with a song if I wasnât one hundred percent happy with it.â A testament to his obsession of perfection was evident when the album's last song, âIâll Wait for Youâ was written and recorded just three days before the album was sent off to Nashville to be mastered.
