Hoopla Music Magazine talks to Scott

After releasing two solo albums under his name, Scott was looking to play heavier music with a more streamlined sound. That‘s why he created Blues and Lasers. “I was looking to move forward musically and yet still draw from the past,” he said. “I was happy with my solo stuff, but I didn’t feel like it was music that no one had ever heard before.”

He yearned for a sound with a groove you could move to — something fun to solo over.
“I want to be able to satisfy the revved up crowd on a Friday or Saturday night,” said Scott.

Nice piece, the albums are all worth owning that’s for sure. I’m glad he continues to search out is own path as well, cause I am big fan of Scott’s playing.

Me too Kired.
Appreciate Scott sharing his thoughts. Particularly like his description of his relationship with music.
” It’s like being a writer and wanting to do novels, short stories, and poetry. I just can’t do any one thing all the time.”
