Williams Center Presents:
'Office Hours: A Roundtable Discussion for Rounding Out Ideas'
Do you feel like you have an idea for a script / book / poem / song, and you just don't know how to get it off the ground? Or maybe you have a completed piece of work, and you simply want another person to give some honest feedback?
We proudly present "Office Hours," an open-door, collaborative forum that helps each member work through the ideation, creation, and revisions of their latest artistic endeavor! It's a bi-weekly, two hour session where you can bring anything to the table, and you'll be met with full attention and constructive feedback.
To clarify, it is a group built on kindness, open-mindedness and timeliness — while everyone will have a chance to comment on each other's work, there will be proper guidelines and time constraints to give everyone a chance to share (more on that later). And to further clarify, you do not have to bring something for every session. Come and go as you please, and feel free to be in the room without the caveat of something you're working on.
All in all, we want this to feel like a meeting place for creatives who just want to be around other working creatives. While the focus might lean towards screenwriting or prose, we are open to all kinds of art, and this group will morph with time and experience.
Consider this your opportunity to get some work done — and let us help you get it there!

Darrell Scott - A intimate solo experience
Multi-instrumentalist and singer-songwriter Darrell Scott mines and cultivates the everyday moment, taking the rote, menial, mundane, and allowing it to be surreal, ever poignant, and candidly honest, lilting, blooming, and resonating. The words he fosters allow us to make sense of the world, what is at stake here, and our place in it. And ultimately, Darrell knows the sole truth of life is that love is all that matters, that we don’t always get it right, but that’s the instinctive and requisite circuitous allure of things, why we forever chase it, and why it is held sacred.
Darrell Scott comes from a musical family, with a father who had him smitten with guitars by the age of 4, alongside a brother who played Jerry Reed style as well. From there, things only ramped up with literature and poetry endeavors while a student at Tufts University, along with playing his way through life. This would never change.
After recently touring with Robert Plant and Zac Brown Band (2 years with each), and producing albums for Malcolm Holcombe and Guy Clark and being named “Songwriter of the Year” for both ASCAP and NSAI, these days find him roaming his Tennessee wilderness acreage, hiking along the small river, creating delicious meals with food raised on his property, and playing music. He often leads songwriting workshops to help people tell their own truths with their stories and is as busy as always writing, producing, performing, and just plain fully immersing himself in life.
Career Highlights:
Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame Nominee (2023)
Grammy Nomination – Best Country Song ("Long Time Gone," The Chicks, 2003)
Grammy Nomination – Best Country Instrumental Performance ("The Second Mouse," 2001)
Americana Music Association Song of the Year ("Hank Williams’ Ghost," 2007)
Rolling Stone Magazine – Theatre of the Unheard (2003 Critics’ Top Albums)
