InfluencesBlues, hillbilly, jazz, swing, string band music from the 1920s,30s & 40s. Mississippi John Hurt, Reverend Gary Davis, Blind Willie Johnson, Tampa Red, Lonnie Johnson, Mamie Smith, Bessie Smith, Oscar Aleman, Missisippi Sheiks, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Eddie Land, Django Reinhardt, Sam McGee, Charlie Poole and a few hundred others. I've been a performer for over 25-year career and began my musical journey in college. I earned a degree, despite hours spent trying to recreate the music of Mississippi John Hurt, Robert Johnson and Reverend Gary Davis. After a brief teaching career, I moved to Chicago and worked with David Honeyboy Edwards, Big Smokey Smothers, Jimmy Walker, Carl Weathersby and Billy Branch. While living in Georgia, I hung out with Neal Pattman and Frank Edwards, and in South Carolina met Drink Small and Richard Big Boy Henry. Since settling in Virginia, I've spent time with Nat Reese and the late John Jackson and many traditional and old-time players.
Sounds LikeTraditional and original acoustic blues and roots guitar and ukulele. Guitar influences: Robert Johnson, Mississippi John Hurt, Bo Carter, Reverend Gary Davis, Blind Blake, Sam McGee, Riley Pucket, Blind Lemon Jefferson, Memphis Minnie and Blind Willie Johnson. Ukulele influences: Cliff Edwards (Ukulele Ike), and Roy Smeck.

   About Scott Perry
My music celebrates the relevance and vitality of acoustic music created and recorded in the early years of the 20th century. Drawing inspiration from traditional blues, hill billy, ragtime, Tin Pan Alley, old time, jazz and mountain guitar, I've fashioned an old school sound that resonates today. My interpretations of traditional songs reflect respect for the past and the music's traditions of fusion and self-expression. I maintain a healthy performance schedule while home-schooling my sons and working a small farm in southwestern Virginia with my wife. I also own a music store, the Pickin' Porch, that features acoustic musical instruments and supplies. I give over thirty guitar lessons every week to students aged 5 to 75.

We have the Ellington, where Catfish played. Depending what your requirements are there are other places of interest in the coffee house vein. Rapunzels in Lovingston, The White Hart in Lynchburg. The James River Blues Association has a blues fest every year thats a good match for you. I'll do anything I can to assist in these and any endeavor.
