   About The Taters
The Taters ( www.thetaters.com ) play an eclectic mix of roots rock, pop, & country & have been compared favorably to a mixture of Everlys, Orbison, Beatles, The Mavericks, and Nick Lowe. Billboard magazine described the Taters as "determinedly-and gleefully-forging a path with no limits or end in sight. This is music for which you've been waiting a long, long time... Without a trace of self-consciousness or pretension, the Taters draw up a formula that can rightly be claimed as their own". They have played successful shows through the mid-Atlantic region for the last 13 years, at festivals, clubs, bookstores & house concerts. They have 4 CDs of original music out, and are currently getting airplay at over 60 stations around the world, in 10 countries

It was my pleasure to play "Just One Night" on my weekly, 30-minute podcast featuring mainstream, independent music. The direct link to the show is: http://indiemusicsampler. com/2009/02/27/ims-122/

In a few days, the song will also be added to the music stream which plays out some of the best in independent music commercial-free 24x7.

Cheers,

Hi, ya Taters:

Drop whatever you are doing and listen to my new song in the MySpace player.

Yet more “live” radio appearance gold from the Pure Pop show back in May 2008.

I recorded a “live” version of one of my most beloved songs, “Karen,” an important part of my 1999 cd, For Those Who like POP (available everywhere now as a download album, or I can scare up an original rare compact disc for you online somewhere). This version is a special scaled down arrangement which deletes an instrumental section that is impossible to play on guitar.

Once again, just me and an acoustic guitar.
Please listen and let me hear from you.
Scott Brookman

PS: “subscribe” to me, if you haven’t already, so you’ll know what is going on!
