Alison Craig

An award winning broadcaster and more recently a songwriter AC Scott aka Alison Craig has had a life long love of all things music, played piano since she was 5 and only recently began songwriting with her debut album being released in early 2026.

After uncovering a passion for songwriting she travelled by ship to the US in 2024 to work and write with Andrew Rollins in his LA studio.

A firm friendship was formed and the shared passion for music and songwriting the next natural step was a podcast. And so Nashville Scratching The Surface was born.
