Surely one of the purest interpreters of Scott Joplin rags alive today, Scott Kirby has become a favorite at ragtime festivals across the country. His well-paced, thoughtful and evocative piano renditions stay true to the original score, then feature his own tasteful arrangements in the repeats, adding to the original music while still honoring Joplin's genius. Kirby's beautiful renditions seem to channel Joplin himself.
Of course, Scott also performs and records the music of other ragtime composers as well, along with other genres of music, including blues, traditional jazz, Brazilian tango, Creole, Americana and his own original compositions.

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Technically, the streets on the opening sequence isn't Main Street. Main Street in Urbana, Ohio runs north -south (USR 68). 😉
Enjoyed this a lot. Great interpretation. Thanks for sharing.
Great. I think it's sweetest of all Joplin's rags, especially the third movement with five flats. So hauntingly beautiful the way you performed it.
Absolutely yes and Scott Kirby is one of the best performers of the Joplin Rags.
I like how you went real low on that funky part.
This was amazing 🎉
❤
Very like
Bravo
You give me a good Idea. Will try to do your way. Thanks
Dude….!! 💪💪 seriously excellent. Been looking for a reasonably paced version of this song forever! My grandfather used to play it for me as a child. Every MIDI version of this sucks! But what do you want for clickbait?! Again, nicely done!!
Very well done. Like a lot
Absolute beautiful ❤
I never tire of your playing. I also love the pieces you have written. Some day if you pass through southern New England I woul truly enjoy hearing you live. Superb artist in several media. Thanks for sharing your work.
it was very emotional one
Ragtime is in a way a tasty polka
Non importa la velocità con la quale Scott Joplin suonasse i suoi Rags che ascoltiamo nei suoi rulli. Ogni Rag va suonato a velocità moderata, sia perché lo consigliava Lui, sia perché musicalmente è più gradevole. E Scott Kirby da bravo musicista qual è li suona tutti al tempo giusto.
This has always been my favorite Joplin tune. Didn’t know it was a collaboration until now. Played beautifully!❤
Very nice.
Your piano sounds beautifully tuned and voiced. Your playing is lovely to listen to, perfect balance between left and right hands, you can hear every note clearly. Very enjoyable, thank you.
I love your tempo! Thank you for not playing it too fast. 👍😌🎹❤
This rivals Scott's versions on piano rolls--amazing to have this live performance.
Title notwithstanding, this is perhaps the happiest music I've ever heard.
WELL DONE YOU ARE THE BEST COVERING THIS SONG

This is wonderful. It is definitely the best version of Magnetic I have ever heard. I think Scott Kirby is my favorite ragtime pianist.
I've been a ragtime fan for 50 years, and Kirby is the best interpreter of Scott Joplin, King of the Ragtime Composers.
Maybe Kit Carson county....
Heroic!
I second the motion: damned fine, leaves nothing to be desired.
Beautiful ❤
This is one of the finest contemporary ragtime pieces I’ve ever heard. Bravo.
Much appreciated, Dale! You've been on my mind today... David
Beautiful rendition. Played with such grace and style. Loved the tempo. I'd hazard a guess that Joplin would have enjoyed your performance
Takes me back ! Your mastery of piano is overwhelming, Scott, and always was! Congratulations and salutations from Nashville and all the best to you and yours!!
Transcendent as ever with each listening!
Beautiful….and somewhat haunting. Yet beautiful.
Beautifully done!
Must be paid by the city😂
my mom used to play this for me when i was little
Scott + Scott + Scott
Always witty and charming, Joplin's tunes often end in what sounds like church hymn ending. Subdued performance appreciated.
He also saved my great grandmother from a bull and might have stayed in a barn on Bair rd
So soulful, soaring, and beautiful. Exquisite.
Excellent! You capture the festive feeling this song has. You play it with a unique style. I love it! By far, performed better than all the rest! Thanks 😊
David Thomas Roberts is a remarkable composer. This piece has so much life, passion, energy. Achingly intimate and personal. Fetching and haunting tango with a bluesy but sophisticated harmonic language.
Wow! I never cared much for James Scott's rags, but obviously I never heard anyone treat them with proper respect and feeling. Great job!
Beautiful!
You look so relaxed. This is a very smooth rendition of another of Joplin's best!
Somewhere up there, Scott Joplin has a great big smile! Very nicely done, with some excellent personal flourishes!
Perfect tempo, beautiful rendition of this most wonderful piece. Thank you.
My favorite - something about it makes me want to dance and weep at the same time. I think Mr Joplin would appreciate your rendition . Many thanks .
Agreed, and well put.
