BroadwayWorld is excited to bring you the premiere episode of "Songs from My Living Room"- a new series that goes into the home of one of today's most acclaimed contemporary songwriters, as he explains the stories behind his songs. The monthly series will feature special guests from all corners of the entertainment industry to help bring to life the music and lyrics of Scott Alan straight from his living room into yours.

The first episode, directed by television and Broadway star Nadia Quinn (Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson; Smash; The Big C) features Glee and The Voice star Luke Edgemon singing Alan's "Home" from his debut album 'Dreaming Wide Awake' and title song from the upcoming 2015 West End premiere. Hear how Alan's music inspired Edgemon through a difficult relationship and how the song "Home" opened up an opportunity for him to sing backup for Broadway and recording artist Shoshana Bean early in his career.

Scott Alan is an internationally celebrated songwriter who has released five albums (Dreaming Wide Awake, Keys, What I Wanna Be What I Grow Up, LIVE & Anything Worth Holding On To) featuring some of today's brightest Broadway and international theatre stars as well as recording artists such as Marc Broussard, Pentatonix, Jane Monheit and American Idol alumni RJ Helton & Diana DeGarmo.

James and Tony nominees Ramin Karimloo, Christopher Sieber, Bobby Steggert, Liz Callaway, Randy Graff, Stephanie J.
