Scotty`s backing band consists of several combinations of veteran twin cities based blues musicians including Shorty Lenoir, Dan Schwalbe, or Phil Schmid on guitar. Billy Black, Keith Boyles, or Scot Hornick on upright bass. Rob Stupka, Doug James, or Mike Dubois on drums. Occassionally Tim Wick or Dave Hupp on keyboards. Experimenting with different musician combinations and song material makes each performance a unique, improvisational, high energy display of harmonica drivin` traditional, swing, and jump blues inspired by artists like Muddy Waters, Walter Jacobs, Sonny Boy Williamson, Willie Dixon, Howlin` Wolf, Slim Harpo, Walter Horton, George Smith, Louis Jordan, Joe Turner, and other blues greats of the past and present.
Scotty attributes any success to the quality musicianship and guidance provided by his backing musicians and the support of family, friends, and fans that return to the performances year after year. Thank you all!
