Scott Alarik Biography

Since 1986, Scott Alarik has been The Boston Globe's top social music writer. He has also consistently supported Sing Out! the Folk Music Journal, and has long served as a guest analyst for the public radio show Here and Now. He served as the New England Folk Almanac's editorial manager and chief author from 1991 to 1997. With the release of a new CD, All That Is True, and the launch of the eagerly awaited website, scottalarik.com, Scott Alarik intends to even more closely connect his lengthy careers as a music journalist and societal artist. Alarik worked as a musician and people artist for almost 15 years before relocating to Boston in the middle of the 1980s. He released three volumes and regularly appeared on the popular public radio program A Prairie Home Companion. For Alarik at that time, writing predominated performance. In 1991, the Globe swiftly reduced the attention to popular music. Hence, Alarik created the New England Folk Almanac in collaboration with the Folk Arts Network to replace the void in print media coverage. It changed from a local music calendar to a respected magazine between 1991 and 1997. At the height of the Almanac's fame in 1997, Alarik was forced to leave the publication due to internal strife within the supportive group. A year later, it ceased operations.
