A regular on the Nashville music scene, Toluenes vocalist & songwriter Jamon Scott has hammered out his distinctive brand of southwestern country rock on stages from Asbury Park, N.J. to Los Angeles, CA including the legendary Rainbow Room on Hollywoods Sunset Strip. With comparisons to John Mellencamp, Jimmy Buffet and Robert Earl Keen, Jamon has garnered Best Male Vocals and Best Lyrics awards on Garageband.com while The Toluenes held the number 1 artist position in their genre for 6 straight months on Audiostreet.net.
Guitarist Dan Crawley, a prolific songwriter in his own right, moved to Nashville right out of high school and honed his craft in such clubs as the famed Bluebird Cafe, eventually signing his first publishing deal. Later, he relocated to Lexington, KY, where he spent the late '90's and early 2000's "paying his dues" on the local music scene before hooking up with Jamon in 2003 and forming The Toluenes.
" . . . a great sound with a wickedly cool sense of humor. ", " . . . burns like cheap tequila chased by a long-turned lime. " and " . . . rockin' bar (band) - makes me want to down a longneck and boogie. " are just a few of the words reviewers have used to describe The Toluenes, on their debut c.d. Hola from The Toluenes. The disc was recorded in Nashville and co-produced by Jim Allison, who wrote such hits as Reba McEntires What Am I Gonna Do About You and LeAnn Rimes Fade To Blue.
The Toluenes also made their small screen debut in the 2007 Indie Gathering winner for best t.v. pilot, Bottle Rockets. The pilot was co-written by & co-stars Jamon and features several solo performances from both Jamon and Dan. Meanwhile, "Adios New Mexico" was recently picked up by Clear Channel Broadcasting and can now be heard on such radio stations as New Rock 103.9 The X in Dayton, OH, 104.1 WTQR Country in Greensboro, NC and 94.9 Zeta Rocks in Miami, FL.

count me in! I'll be coming to nashville on June 5th to meet with a couple people, and will be moving down around the end of October beginning of November. I'll be coming down after we get done with all the east coast shows and that should be pretty well taken care of by that time, just shoot me a plan and I can swing it!
You know, I think I just may be able to make that show! Actually, I'm planning on going down in the next week or two to pick up my RCPM ticket, and I could just swing by and pick up my ticket for your show while I'm down there. Any chance they're on sale already? This rocks! Man it's going to be a busy week. RCPM on Tues. and Wed. and you guys on Sat.? I think I'm coming up on my best week of the year! Cheers amigos.
