Singing guitarist with a variety of music from Jimmy Buffett, Kenny Chesney to Frank Sinatra and Ed Sheehan. New and old country from George Strait to Sam Hunt. Elvis and the Beatles. All I need is an electrical outlet and I'll take care of the rest. Small groups to larger crowds. Entertaining and enjoyable.

October 28, 2022We hired Scott to help out with a special company function. It was a different kind of venue (in the woods). And we had some special requests for him. He did a great job. He arrived early to ensure he could get everything set up correctly (again, it was a different kind of venue) and he not only accommodated all our special requests he improvised on the spot to help ensure it was a great evening for all. We really appreciated him.

August 30, 2022Scott was an outstanding guitarist and singer and I would have given him 5 stars+ if only Scott showed up. We booked Scott to play 4.5 hours for my wedding reception. However, Scott brought his wife and made no mention she was coming until I arrived for my reception and saw her. The reception was only 17 people. It was not at all a large wedding where she would not be seen. She stayed at our private event and got so drunk by the end of the night she was arguing with my mother (mother of the bride) and my husbands mother (mother of the groom). It was the most unprofessional thing I’ve ever witnessed and Scott’s wife upset every guest we had there. At the end of the reception his wife told me that I better tip Scott “huge” because he played over by 30 mins. Please keep in mind I was the bride and she was telling me this. Not only did I tip him and already had that ready prior to the reception, I gave him an additional $100 the wife happily took for the 30 mins he played over the event. I am still in shock about what happened. If you book Scott please make sure his wife does not come.

My sincere apologies. I believe there was a misunderstanding and will take all the blame. I will speak to her so this will not ever happen again. You were a beautiful bride and I appreciate the positive things said.

People who hire Scott first notice his professional, easy-going attitude. Never requiring much more generally then an electrical outlet, Scott provides his own sound equipment to end any unnecessary burden his client may have. Always on time and available to suggestions from both his clients as well as the audience, Scott's goal is to listen to what his client requests and do his best to make a wonderful experience for all. Scott knows his client has multiple things to be concerned about and does his best to make their job that much easier. His music will mirror his audience while not overpowering their ability to make conversation. if you are looking for a charismatic but laid-back entertainer who will have people complementing you on your musical selection, Scott is your guy.
Raised in a music rich family Scott began singing in Church, then his school and then with a band in his late teens hitting County and State fairs in multiple states which allowed him to open for such famous folks such as Alabama, John Anderson and the Oak Ridge Boys. After taking off a couple of decades the music bug hit again where now Scott plays a solo act throughout the Midwest performing in private events, weddings, corporate parties, restaurants as well as on outdoor stages. Scott provides a very eclectic set incorporating Country, both old and new, Pop, 70's and 80's fair, as well as some Big Band Standards depending upon his audience wishes.
The requirements for Scott to perform at your function generally is narrowed to a relatively small, adequate space as well as an electrical outlet within a reasonable distance. The sound equipment provided by Scott is generally an outstanding Bose system which will provide adequate volume without the obnoxious harshness.

Set lists vary depending upon the event. Restaurant and Corporate events will have music designed to entertain while the patrons generally eat or prepare to eat with fun songs including "Danny's Song, Piano Man, and Amarillo by Morning"; Weddings will incorporate love songs similar to "Can't Help Falling in Love, All of Me, and The Way You Look Tonight." Patio shows will be more uptempo with "Margaritaville, Friends in Low Places and Hotel California." Scott will always be open to suggestions from both his client as well as his audience.
Scott's musical influences are vast. Raised on Elvis Presley as well as Old Country (as he jokingly states, his Daddy raised him on both types of music: Country and Western) he lived through both 70's and 80's music and has latched onto the happy, island music of Jimmy Buffett, Bob Marley as well as Kenny Chesney all the while also being molded by the likes of Frank Sinatra and Michael Buble'.
Realistically unless a rather large event Scott will generally only require a dedicated electrical outlet.
Should your event be larger than normal Scott may request the client to provide a sound system adequate for the ocassion or pre-payment for Scott to locate and rent such system.
