I'm a musician living and working in Oklahoma City. I love to play music and to perform live. Music is the driving force in my life.
I was raised in Cordell, OK. That is where I lived until I graduated high school. I started playing drums in a rock band called "Ransom" in 1980 in Weatherford, OK. I switched to guitar in 1984 around the time I graduated from college. I started playing keyboards around 1985. I started learning MIDI programming on a drum machine in 1985 and soon bought a sequencer. I have been deep into MIDI programming since that time.
I did my first solo show around 1986. I now perform solo at several different clubs around OKC both as an acoustic and electric (one man band type) solo artist. In addition, I still fill in with a couple of different bands, playing either guitar or drums. I am also currently writing and recording my first solo CD. You can hear songs from that CD here: Scott's music on Soundclick.com
Here is a list of venues that I have played. Gigs
Here is a full timeline of (almost) all of the bands and people that I have worked with over my now 20 year music career. Time Line (if you know someone on the Time Line, please send me an update!)
Besides music, my main loves are computers & hockey. I spend a lot of time every day on the computer. It is both a tool and a toy for me. I have a small studio setup and I use several software programs including Sonar and WaveLab for sequencing and recording. I create and maintain web sites for several businesses as well as sell guitars and other equipment over the internet.
I can be very versatile with the solo show. The play list will vary greatly from one gig to another depending on the type on venue and the requests I get.
A typical club show would consist of classic rock music by bands like Clapton, Pink Floyd, and The Stones, 90's songs by groups like Matchbox 20, Kenny Wayne Sheppard, & U2, and LOTS of requests.
I put a QR code on the back of my card and put cards at all the tables. You can scan the code with your phone and it pulls up my song list. That makes requests very simple and people seem to love doing it. There are many nights that I don't even pick the songs, It's all requests!
I have a wide variety of songs, Classic Rock, Blues Rock, Country, Oldies, Dance Songs, and more! I am diverse enough that I can play most any type of venue from "Background Music Only" (at a very low volume) to a Wedding, Prom, Corporate, or private party requiring a mix of background, dance music, oldies, and slow songs, to a full blown rock and roll show in a bar with full PA and lights.
I really love to play private parties! I have set up in the tiniest of spaces and still had a blast playing for people. Drop me an email and let me know what date your party is on. I might make you a great deal!
If you are interested in booking me for any club or event I would encourage you to email or phone me and discuss it. It is never too early or too late to put a gig on the calendar! I would be honored to perform for you.
Let's make a gig!
