Singer, Musician, Songwriter Scott Lawson Pomeroy
has continued to add to his already impressive music resume, with original songs featured on 4 major television networks as
recently as 2019.
But let's
go back a few more years first...
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 Transperformance28 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,
and in 2021 are putting together a full length original at home recording called "Shadows", featuring songs written
by both Scott and Amy for the first time.
