Bio/Pics

This is a musical bio so we won’t get into the details of born in Virginia, grew up and raised a family in Maryland, etc. After an eight year stint in the Tampa FL metro area (2013 – 2021) currently residing as a ‘half back’ between Florida in the winter and Hendersonville, NC spring, summer and fall.

Keyboardist Brian Scott has performed in a variety of bands over the past 5 decades, starting at the tender age of 15 with Group Therapy (1969-72). After four years at the University of Maryland where he played blues and folk guitar with Steve Malan, Brian played with Tin Soup (1976-78) in local night clubs. After short tenures with Headwind and Touch of Brass, Brian joined the Personalities Band & Show in 1981 for an 11-year stint. Five years of DJ followed as Brian looked forward to the day he could perform his original compositions with like-minded musicians, which leads us to The Brian Scott Group.
Singer/Songwriter Brian also plays guitar and sings. Guitar is perhaps his first love and he recalls his first (two chord) ‘song’ at age 15. Many years later, he is now up to 3 chords, and the truth.

In addition to his recording and songwriting, while in Florida Brian played in Night Flight, RB52, Ernie and Friends, Barcode, and the Union West Large Band. While in Hendersonville Brian is the “new kid in town” trying to establish a musical presence of undefined nature. So far he has had the pleasure of playing with Chicago bluesman Mr. Jimmy and bassist Kim Butler, both well regarded musicians from Asheville, NC and is pursuing film soundtrack opportunities among other things.
