Scott Allen

Singer/Songwriter

Scott Allen is a Rhode Island based singer/songwriter. He derives material for his songs from both his personal and his professional life. He has lived and worked in a variety of interesting settings over the years, including Cambodian refugee camps, the red light district of Manila, the Mississippi Delta and a state prison in Rhode Island(okay, he didn't LIVE in the prison, but he did work there until he could take no more). He now works at a state hospital and works with Physicians for Human Rights in the Campaign Against Torture, and is co-founder and co-director of the Center for Health and Human Rights at The Miriam Hospital. He is also a co-founder and President of Project Aid Khmer, a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that supports AIDs orphans an other vulnerable children in rural Cambodia. And, yes, while it is true he always wanted to be a rock star, he had to settle for being a doctor, because he needed a way to pay his bills and buy more guitars.

While he does sell his CD's, he maintains the website milomusic.com in order to share his music. In the case of his most recent CD, The Evidence, based in large part on his prison years, the entire CD is available for downloading for your personal use.

His previous CD, New Africa Road, is partially available for downloading, and if people want it, he could be persuaded to put the whole thing up on the site.

Scott had such humble beginnings...

Me and cousin Winston Braman. (Winston grew up to be a bass player with the band Fuzzy)

Mairut Cambodian Refugee Camp, Thailand, 1980

Songkhla Vietnamese Boat Camp, Thailand, 1980

Most of Scott's songs are filled up with inspiration and love which reminded me of Songkla, Thailand,one of Vietnamese Boat camp in 1980. I was Scott's interpreter and one of Vietnamese refugees who were listening and looking at Scott with his guitar. His IF EVERY WORD, DO YOU STILL BELIEVE IN INNOCENT are IN THE MOOD FOR A CONVERSATION. Amazing!!! --Xinh
