Some of the guitar folks I admire are Pierre Bensusan, John Doyle, Artie McGlyn, Al Petteway, John Renborn and others I just can't think of at the moment......My banjo list of influences include players such as Bobby Thompson, Randal Morton, Fleck, Earl, Larry McNeely, Bill Keith, Eddie Adcock, Alan Munde, Alan Shelton, Trischka and others......

All the guitar stuff you hear above and more can be heard at cdbaby.com/scootermuse. Sorry I don't have any banjo stuff loaded at the moment!
Scooter has his roots in Bluegrass Music and has been privileged to win ten State of Alabama & Tennessee Valley Championship titles for 5 String and Old Time Banjo and began to tap into the incredible world of Celtic Music almost 30 years ago. After learning a flood of traditional jigs and reels on the banjo he began to explore the Celtic domain of open tunings for the guitar and from 1994 till 2002 was founder and leader of one of the country's finest Celtic bands, The Full Moon Ensemble, touring the US, Canada and Scotland.
After the FME went their seperate ways in December of 2002, Scooter was proud to join Henri's Notions (www.henrisnotions.com) after being a big fan of the band for many years!
He has released his first solo guitar CD, "Saddell Abbey" featuring 14 tracks of music. The CD includes 12 original compositions for acoustic guitar including music set to the poetry of Robert Burns, and 3 songs by the Full Moon Ensemble's Allison King and Jil Chambless of Henri's Notions. Saddell Abbey is available through Henri's Notions Website and CD Baby.
In between gigs with the Notions, Scooter handles all the 5 string banjo work for the Muscle Shoals recording industry as well as hitting a few bluegrass festivals and competitions (Main banjos are a very rare 1966 ODE Style E and also a great banjo built by Kenny Cardin from Indiana - you can check out my page at www.banjohangout.org to get a look at them if you are interested - my home page is at SCTRMS)---

Hi Scooter - hope you have recovered from MOK Fest! It was great to see you again and thanks for getting up to play with us at the Dalriada Connections concert. Have got some video of that gig once we figure out how to download and edit it. We have a reputation for being jinxed with the technology! Will give you a shout in due course and hope to see you again next year.
Hey Scooter, I love your guitar songs. I hope you will share your banjo music with everyone on this site too! "Your one of my Favorites!" Your Friend, Randal

Hi Scooter, Thanks for the add and your solo tracks sound great. I see you have a message from Give Way. I have been hearing good things about them from my cousin (drummer, Jim Drummond) who is a big mate of theirs. Hope to see you soon. Mae x
Hey Scooter, thanks for having us we all had a great time! Hopefully we'll get to come back soon-if we havent been banned from Florence for going in the wrong venue haha! GiveWay x
Thank you for visiting. Your music is beautiful. I've recently been playing with a Canadian fingerstyle guitar player and luthier named Fabrizio Alberico (www.albericoguitar.com). Hopefully our paths will all cross someday and we'll get to share a tune.
