Hi, I'm Scott.I love to write and record! I try to make my music fun and bold with good story lines.
I play all the instruments and Sing all the vocal tracks myself.(Harmonies as well) I have also done all the mastering on a small home studio.
Please feel free to listen to my tunes and let me know what you think!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I was born, raised and lived all of my life here in Manitowoc County.
(Manitowoc is an Indian Name meaning....Land of many Sprits.)
I have been playing live music in the area since the age of 13.Through
the years I have been a part of several local bands........
The Next Move.....(With " WaterWorks" members Brenda (keyboards) and John
(Drums))
Sneakers..............(With "WaterWorks" member Mike (bass guitar))
The Sound Effects...............
Ricky Raybine and the Rays...(Summer of 2003 when as a group we won "The
WTKM Colgate Country Showdown!" On July 9th at Hartford Wisconsin)
I have always worked hard to bring the area an excellent quality of live
High Energy Variety Dance Music!
Now together with Mike, Brenda, and John. I (speaking for myself) have
made the decision to once again Rededicate myself to bringing the area An
excellent quality of Live High Energy Variety Dance Music! With a renewable
source of songs (for the Dedicated DieHard Friends (fans) of myself and the
"WaterWorks" Band!) Because bringing High Energy Variety Dance music to our
people is my first priority in the" WaterWorks" Band.After all,What else
could possibly come before YOU?????????And YOU???? And Of course YOU as
well???????
We play mostly Covers. But I write my own tunes as well! (I have been
known to Email cover and Original tunes to friends who make my nights of
live music bright and fun. Right from my Home Studio to you.....If you have
a big enough Email box!!!! Tune files can take up quite a bit of
space.....You have to ask nicely though....LOL)
I believe that in the future...The "WaterWorks" Band is going to work
Original Music into our Shows....(it's what you've been asking for!)
I also believe that in the near future The "WaterWorks" band is also going
to take advantage of my recording and mastering Studio to Record Tunes for a
demo or possibly even a CD......(That's just a rumor for now
though!........Shhhhhhhhhh...)
So...................Speaking for myself,I'd like to add that....With the
Thump of Mike's 4 string Bass,The pleasing tones of Brenda's Key Boards, The
awesomely blue beat of John's drumming, and The rockabilly style I seem to
have,Is surely going to find it's way into your hearts for the love of live
music!
Come get your fill (of live High Energy Variety Dance Music) with The
"WaterWorks" band!!!!!!
Do you have Questions or comments??????All of the players have a contact
address right on our home page.
