About this listen

In this powerful episode of Spirits and Stories with Donald Dunn, Marine Corps combat veteran and Texas-based Rock Americana artist Scotty Fraser shares his emotional journey from the battlefield to the music stage. With raw authenticity, Scotty opens up about leading troops in combat, finding spiritual clarity through music, and his drive to give back through powerful storytelling and community-building. Hear how a chance encounter with a Marine strumming U2 in the Kuwaiti desert changed his life—and led him to become a musical lifeline for fellow veterans.

From his haunting new single “Forever Die Trying” to the upcoming American Rock and Roll anthem, Scotty’s songs capture the soul of service, sacrifice, and survival. Donald and Scotty dive deep into the challenges of the modern music industry, the veteran suicide epidemic, launching Sergeant Records, and building a movement rooted in connection, healing, and hope.

This isn’t just an episode about music—it’s about mission, memory, and making a difference.
