| About Scott |
|
I'm a multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, producer, technical consultant, skeptic, anti-theist and general optimist. I'm based in Chicago, IL, USA (but heck, that's just a physical thing). I play Guitar, Mandolin, and Non-pedal Steel Guitar (Lap Steel, Table Steel, but NO Pedal Steel, 'kay?), along with a few other things. I've studied, played, and/or recorded in many genres, including Rock (Indie, Classic, Post-, etc.), Ambient/Electronic, World Music, Jazz, Electric Blues, Delta Blues, Bluegrass, Folk, Country, and Hip Hop. I guess you could say I'm eclectic, though it's all cohesive in my brain. Many of my "top friends" (below) represent artists/thinkers I'm presently influenced by (or in some cases, I've worked with). I'm always seeking new challenges musically. Contact me if you're in need of talents such as I've listed here.
