Biography

"Scott is a masterful performer, taking the upright bass to a totally new level. You're tricked into thinking most of the songs are an ensemble but with just Scott you get the rhythm, melody, percussion, and vocals... all layered perfectly together. He's the modern day 'One Man Band'." – Eric Marcum, WSM RADIO Scott describes the formation of his musical style, “I started music as a bass player, but when it came to singing and writing songs, all my favorite writers played guitar or piano, and I started writing there. But while in Ricky Skaggs’ band, I was performing '20/20 Vision' in the show, which began with just the bass and my voice ... it was a revelation. I realized that this sound, this concept could work, and I honestly wondered why I hadn't had the courage to do it before. So I started writing songs on the bass. I tried to make the bass parts complete arrangements with harmony and rhythm, and weave my melodies between all that - the first song I wrote that way was “Fighting for the Wrong Side”. And that’s when the music became unique. Not for unique sake, but just because I was finally bringing all of my varied skills to the table and doing something that few others could, and it was where I felt I could give my best to the music.” He has shared the stage with some of the greatest artists of modern music, such as: Alison Krauss, Barry Gibb of the BeeGees, Bruce Hornsby, Brad Paisley, Peter Frampton, Emmylou Harris, Dave Barnes, Ben Rector, and many more.
