Summary

Scott grew up in a musical family. His dad played stand up bass in a big band, and could also play a little piano by ear. His mother is a skilled pianist and organist. Put those genes together and you've got a recipe for a unique blend of traditional musical sensibilities, mixed with intuitive gifts for hearing and comprehending all facets of the musical picture. Scott fought traditional piano lessons, because he didn't like to read music. When his teacher would play a piece before he learned it, he always had an easier time getting motivated to work on it, especially if it was pleasing to his ears. After quitting traditional lessons, Scott spent a few years pursuing the normal pre-teen stuff, baseball, basketball, video games, etc. It's important to mention that as a kid he was definitely also a radio junkie. Scott had the privilege of working with some incredibly talented artists in his career. In the past he worked with Bob Carlisle, Allies, Susan Ashton, Mark Schultz, and Steven Curtis Chapman. More recently, he was the Musical Director and keyboardist for Kenny Loggins, and still occasionally plays concerts with him. Scott played several shows with Richard Marx, and currently is touring with Carrie Underwood. Scott also works as a musical engraver. My most notable clients are Kelly Clarkson and David Foster. He also owns ClassicTributeBands.com, a collective of legacy tribute shows including 12 Against Nature (Steely Dan), Make Me Smile (Chicago), and Live From Ventura Boulevard (West Coast music '75-'85). youtube.com/sasheriff is the link for his main page. youtube.com/lfvboulevard is the link for the Live From Ventura Boulevard page youtube.com/12againstnature is the steely dan tribute youtube.com/makemesmileband1 Chicago tribute.
