ORPHAN DIARY - nominated for the 'Best Blues Album'
as part of the 2019 Music Victoria Awards!
New Album Orphan Diary
“Hot off the heels of her scorching new solo album, Orphan Diary, the Melbourne blues legend is enjoying an enormous 2019. Bounding between cigar box guitars, resonators, lap steels and stomps, Scionti (pronounced Shon-tee, FYI) is a defiantly unique and destructively captivating player. Her energy is patently poignant, every blunt, soul-thumping strum as powerful as can be. To that end, Scionti is a phenomenal vocalist with lyrics that hit hard and heavy – one worth making a special mark on your schedule for”.
Matt Doria - Australian Guitar Magazine (July 2019)
