Hello there, music fans!
I'm really glad
you came to see what I've done with my life since I quit working at Fotomat.
Cheers!
Scott
The
list of people connected to Scott is like a quiz show on Music History - Peter Asher
(Peter & Gordon), Mick Jones (Foreigner), Hilton Valentine (The Animals), Mike Peters (The Alarm), Rick Derringer, David
Lindley, Ricky Scaggs, Doc Watson, Commander Cody, Peter Wolf, Marianne Faithfull and
members of the Steve Miller, Johnny Winter, James Cotton and Muddy Waters Blues Bands are just a sample of artists Scott has been associated with over the years. Either having performed
in support of, or performed/recorded with.
While living in Boston in the early '90s, Scott recorded and released the song "Hideaway" with the Boston
band Border Patrol. Although brief in existence, the band did manage to get the song included on a Warner Brothers
produced compilation, which was distributed throughout the U.S. and Canada. Working with David Lindley (Jackson
Browne, Warren Zevon, Terry Reid) inspired Scott to excel at lap steel and slide guitars, and subsequent tours from Philadelphia
(with guitarist Steve Morse of the Dixie Dregs/Deep Purple) to Portland, Maine (with Bluegrass Icon David
Grisman) to Boston (with Marianne Faithfull, Luka Bloom and Texas) soon followed.
Relocating to the Ocean State of Rhode Island, Scott formed the Country Rock
band Radio Ranch (later called "The Ranch") and performed all over the Northeast in support of the nations top country
acts through the mid '90s. Martina McBride, Patty Loveless, Ricky Scaggs, Jimmy Dale Gilmore, Riders in The Sky, John
Conlee all took the stage after Scott first served as the opening act's lead singer and frontman. A few shows with local blues legends Roomful Of Blues soon
took Scott into another direction. Scott briefly morphed into alt-country enigma Zip Cody and played for
an extended time with such headliners as James Montgomery, Luther Guitar Junior Johnson,
Sleepy LaBeef. Playing blistering slide guitar and screaming delta Blues reached a climax in 2000 with
the release of "Never Get Out Of These Blues Alive" before new projects came calling.
Shortly after settling into the small, artsy Western Massachusetts town of Northampton in late 2000, Scott co-founded
the original rock band Mambo Sons. 16 years and 4 CDs later, the band has earned worldwide rave reviews and
major praises by publications and internet distribution services in Thailand, Germany, Great Britain/UK, Croatia, Japan, Sweden
and the entire United States. Mambo Sons 2000 debut CD features Rock and Roll Hall OF Famer Rick Derringer (Johnny Winter,
Edgar Winter, Solo) and Kenny Aaronson (Keith Richards, Bob Dylan) and led to three addditional CDs - including the double
CD "Heavy Days" which marked the band's 10th anniversary.
Lead singer with '80s Pop revivalists Orange Crush since 2002, Scott has performed over 1,000 shows
over the majority of the United States. Major markets include Chicago, Nashville, New York City and the band continues to
hold a major presence in the Northeast, playing an average of 100 shows per year. A whole new generation of music fans have
seen Scott perform in support of such national acts as OK Go!, Santigold and Reel
Big Fish. In 2011, music from the band's all-original CD O-Crush '80s All Over was featured on the
smash hit ABC TV Comedy Happy Endings, the made for TV movie Game
Of Your Life on NBC, and The Cartoon Network debuted a young adult mystery adventure
show Tower Prep also featuring original music by Orange Crush.
2012-2015 saw Orange Crush break through with more original music featured on NBC's Community (starring
Chevy Chase) and the season finale of ABC's Happy Endings. Good fortunes have continued
into 2016, as ABC used songs from the CD for the new sitcom Fresh Off The Boat. Although the band no longer
performs live, it appears some songs from the original CD have made it on to syndication.
2015-2018 Saw scott share the stage with both Denny Laine of Wings and The
Moody Blues. Mike Peters of The Alarm (the former resulting in a brief tour
which included Peter Asher). Later, Scott joined horn-driven club veterans Savage Brothers Band
to sing lead vocals and play bass. Summer of 2017 Scott briefly morphed into Zip Cody to embody Metal singer
Ronnie James Dio as part of Transperformance27 at the Pines Theater and in 2018, Scott returned to the
Transperformance stage as '80s New Wave Icon Adam Ant.
2019 has Scott
back in the studio to follow up on last year's solo records "Lost at Sea/Unconditional", and has
already released a batch of cover songs with the new vocal duo Bigger Stars. Scott and Amy joined together
at Transperformance29 as Johnny and Edgar Winter for "Lookstock" commemorating the 50th anniversary
of Woodstock 69. Scott busted out the Flying V and with generous help from his bandmates, they slayed the capacity outdoor
crowd with some heavy Blues rock. To finish the year, Orange Crush made more news by (yet again) landing
a song on the TV show Single Parents on ABC.
2020
was cut short due to COVID, but Bigger Stars still played for a remote audience as part of Transperformance "Live Aid"
as British Heavy Metal rockers Judas Priest. In 2021, live shows with The Savage
Brothers continued in earnest in May, as the band rocked the stages at both Mohegan Sun and MGM Springfield, and celebrated
the end of a busy summer by returning to perform at The Big E. 2022 was very active,
as Scott performed a full schedule with both Savage Brothers, as well as Performance 32 with Bigger Stars as Jane's Addiction.
2023 saw more of the same, and 2024 marked the Savage Brothers Band's 40th year of live
performances, with Scott marking his 7th year in the group. Meanwhile, Bigger Stars performs as U2 for Performance 34, and
Scott is putting together the final overdubs to a 12 song all original release for sometime in the near future.
