Scott is a singer-songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist who tours and records with "The Beach Boys" founder, Brian Wilson, singing and playing keys, vibes, guitar and percussion. The legendary genius calls Scott, "The most talented musician I've ever met". He won a Grammy for his work on the "Smile" album, and co-wrote, co-produced and mixed Brian's latest release, "That Lucky Old Sun", which garnered the best reviews of his solo career (****...Rolling Stone, Spin, Mojo, Uncut etc.) Scott also played bass on Flaming Lips "The Soft Bulletin" album, sang and played drums, bass, guitar and keyboards on Liz Phair's "Whitechocolatespaceegg", and did vocals for Greg Dulli's last "Twighlight Singers" CD.
As a key member of Brian Wilson's band, Scott has had the honor of performing in the most famopus venues in the world with dozens of legendary artists including Sir Elton John, Billy Joel, Neil Young, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck, The Who, Sting, Bruce Springsteen, Paul Simon, and Sir Paul McCartney, who said Brian's band was the best band on the road, period.
He's been a session singer, player, writer, and producer on award winning spots for McDonalds, Disney, Bud, Miller, Subway, 7-Up, Gatorade, Kraft, Pontiac, Ford, etc. He has scored for the ABC television series, "Karen Sisco" and Nickelodeon's "Drake and Josh" and "Zoey 101" (for which he won a BMI composer award) as well as four award winning independent short films. Scott has placed dozens of songs on TV shows, including "Charmed", "Beverly Hills 90210", "Providence", "Vegas", "The Bold and the Beautiful", and "The Young and the Restless" where one of his songs became JT and Colleen's theme song. He also played guitar and keys for the Pulitzer and Tony award winning Broadway show, "Rent".
At 18 years old, Scott's band "A Fine Mess" won a nationally-televised battle of the bands hosted by Sammy Davis Jr., and since then, Scott has been the leader of the China Club's jam night, and fronted many other acclaimed bands. The Chicago Tribune called his band, "The Falling Wallendas" debut, "...breathtaking, 3 1/2 out of 4 stars." He released a solo piano disc, and two solo albums, "The Earth's Sharp Edge", and "Scott Bennett and the Dotted Line". He appeared on the legendary British presenter Jonathan Ross's show to promote his "Dotted Line" CD, while he was in the UK with Brian for the much praised "Smile" tour.
Currently, Scott is producing the debut CD for girl power trio "EZ Tiger", the follow up CD for Brian Wilson back-up singer Taylor Mills, and working with Nickelodeon's Drake Bell, as well as finishing the long awaited release of his band "Shiny", featuring several well established Chicago area musicians who have worked with artists like "Smashing Pumpkins", Morrisey, Liz Phair and "Filter".
