I'm influenced by a lot actually. My friend Dan has a big influence on my spiritual growth. My best buddy Sam has a lot of influence on my social behavior growth. But musically I would have to say that Slash and Nikki Sixx are where I learned about stage presence, Tommy Emmanuel has a lot of influence melodically, and John Pettrucci, Eric Roche, and Pierre Bensusan are the guys that I gravitate towards stylistically.
Sounds Like
Scott Bravo sounds like a finger picker, but he's not. He's a flat picker. Since he was raised on rock n roll and metal and not acoustic music he doesn't sound like anyone. There are elements of Folk, Jazz, New Age, and Blues which make it hard to find a place for Scott sometimes but there are few people to compare him to. If pressed I would say that Adrian Legg and Alex Degrassi are the two musicians who he most resembles.
Scott Bravo doesn't care about fame. Scott Bravo doesn't care about what's popular or cool. You won't hear his music on pop culture television shows or used to sell anything. Ever. Scott is an artist in every sense of the word. He is more rock n roll than 100 of todays so called "rock" bands and brings a completely new and original sense of belligerence, swagger and rebellion to the stale and dying genre of New Age/Instrumental music. If you dont like Scotts attitude and/or music fine. Stay away. His lifestyle may be up for question but his jaw dropping technical proficiency, incredible sense of melody and jazz like ability to move in and out of time and key signatures is undeniable. If you havent heard of Scott Bravo, you probably dont deserve to.

Wow, how did that happen? They just told me it was another acoustic show, I did one last year too. They never told me who else, this should be quite the show. I haven't seen you in a long time, it'll be nice to meet up again. Looks like you're passing through to get to Washington. We should try to set something up in Fargo too if you're interested.
