Scotty plays pure Americana, though he calls it all music, "I can't for the live of me figure out what all that pigeon hole stuff was about. I love good country, Celtic, acoustic blues, Cajun and gospel; but now some of it falls under the category Americana. So be it." Americana it is and it fits like a glove, from a sweet John Hurt inspired finger picking blues to a hard edge Chicago blues then off to a Nashville stratocaster lead, Scotty handles it all!

Born in Tupelo Mississippi, birthplace of the King, the music bug had bitten at a young age. "By seven or eight I had a duo with the kid down the street. He was on drums I had gotten a tambourine, it was an odd little percussion duo and I sang lead. But, we broke up when I moved to Florida. There I began playing guitar, a clunky classical my sister had. A friend of mines dad had an old Gibson acoustic from the early 50's that had a neck and action like a high dollar electric. He let me play if one night and I was hooked. I got my first Fender electric soon after that.
