Scott has drifted in and out of the creation of music from the humble abode known as "Chaos on Cardigan" for many years. With roots ranging from “my parents made me” piano lessons at 7 years old, to a Marshall stack dialed up to “eleven” in junior high, to classical piano study in his late teens (for which the practice sessions inevitably evolved into blues jams), to acoustic folk songs around the campfires to psychedelic jazz-rock-fusion, he is equally at home with and inspired by piano/keyboards, guitar, bass and acoustic percussion.
He has publicly plied one manifestation of his creative energy on the keys with local rock ‘n’ roll bar bands such as Surreal McCoy, SmackDaddy, Lolita’s Bliss (chosen as the “Best New Artist” at the NH Seacoast Spotlight Awards in 2001), Junk in the Trunk, and now Talkin' Smack, and with various guest appearances and impromptu jams in nearly any genre imaginable and studio work on Cathy Sanborn’s highly acclaimed 2000 CD release, “It’s About Time”.
All the while he has privately brought his own creations to life in fits and starts during the rare moments between the chaos generously provided by his wife and 3 children (now teenagers and musicians all). In the living room, the back yard and around the fireside, a chosen few have been subjected to the widely varied, often difficult to categorize musical musings of this mystified prophet, and now through the magic of technology, the rest of the world can have the opportunity to determine if there's any hope of repairing the damage..... At any rate, it is what it is, and hope you enjoy it!
Many a year playing the local bars and other various parties and functions. Probably the most memorable would be Dartmouth College's "Tubefest" a number of years ago - a thousand drunken college students rafting around the Connecticut River as the bands played atop a bluff looking over the river. And then, Rafael's was pretty special too - - always had a tough time providing more entertainment that the patrons...
Pretty near everything ... From the earliest of Rock 'n' Roll, to the amazing progressive and psychadelic rock of the 70's, to the acoustic and electric folkies, to the jazz greats and more. Even had a few years of classical thrown in that has been long since forgotten.
