Scott Strickland Est. 1984, passion is the only thing worth pursuing. A magnetic, soulful personality who will quickly make your table the loudest in the bar the minute he sits down. Scott started playing guitar when he was 15, stealing his brother’s acoustic to strum the same three chords over and over again until the wee hours of the morning. At 16, Scott’s mother bought him his first Honer HW300G Acoustic, and the rest was history.
Moving to Austin in 2013, an open mic at the Speakeasy, followed by an immediate show that following week, changed Scott’s perspective on what was possible musically. Connecting and playing with many talented musicians based in Austin, TX, Scott strives to spread the colorful, textural palette of Rock, Jazz and Soul to anyone willing to listen. If you could think of a 3am jam sesh between Richie Havens, Donnie Hathaway and Bill Withers, with a more contemporary example of Dave Matthews or John Mayer, these are the bold and rick sounds of The Scott Strickland Band.
