Scott Stapp’s
black and white
worldview has
shifted after five
years of focus and
introspection.
The Grammywinning
frontman
and songwriter
is now set
to return with his
third solo album
to explore “The
Space Between
The Shadows,”
released July
2019 by Napalm
Records.
As is to be
expected, “The
Space Between
the Shadows” is
Scott’s manifesto
of lessons
learned in the
six years since
his last release, yet listeners will find their
own solace, hear their own frustrations, feel
hope, revelations, victories and losses. The
album’s first single, “Purpose For Pain,” is
an apt opener with a universal message of
finding meaning during life’s darker days.
Scott Stapp’s fighting spirit is well
documented – he fled his childhood home
as a teen, supported himself, and formed

success. Creed burst into popular consciousness
in 1997. The band became a

chart-topping phenomenon that sold over
50 million albums worldwide, broke airplay
records, sold out arenas across North America,
and earned a
Grammy Award
for smash hit,
“With Arms
Wide Open.” As
Rolling Stone
wrote, Stapp is
“a singer with
an enormous
emotional range
and a composer
of startling originality.”
As a solo
artist, Scott had
even more wins
– two albums,
“Proof Of Life”
(2013), which
featured his first
solo Billboard
#1 with “Slow
Suicide,” and
“The Great
Divide” (2005),
all while battling
issues that
threatened his
health and put
his relationships
in jeopardy.
As someone who has received the help
of others in overcoming his own dark shadows,
Scott Stapp pays it forward through
his own With Arms Wide Open Foundation,
which helps military vets and their families
with issues of drug addiction, PTSDtriggered
mental health issues and suicide
prevention.
Tickets are $40.

VINS presents film ‘Negotiating with Nature’
Thursday, Sept. 19 at 7 p.m.—QUECHEE—This Thursday, from 7-8:30 p.m., VINS
Nature Center is screening “Negotiating with Nature,” the new documentary by local
filmmaker Stefan van Norden. Norden will introduce his film and, following the
screening, will host a discussion and question and answer session.
Noorden Productions describes a film exploring how growing distance from nature
is shaping our lives. The film examines rural and urban gardens, including Central
Park, The High Line and the Mount Vernon Estate, to discover how people are connected
to the land. Gardener and independent filmmaker Stefan van Norden notes,
“As someone who has spent some 25 years in my garden, I’ve come to realize that the
earth itself is a garden, and that we need all the help we can get, caring for it.”
The suggested donation for this event is $10. For more information visit vinsweb.org.
