Will Scott is known for his bluesy voice, distinctive guitar-playing, and crafty songwriting. Scott's energetic, soulful, live performances have captivated crowds all over the US and overseas. His style is a meeting of Americana and blues, with a dash of rock and traditional country. New York Press describes Scott’s voice as “thick as blood.” Americana UK raves, “one of the most impressive new acts of his kind to come along in quite some time.”

Raised in Indianapolis, IN, and Chicago, IL, Scott grew up in a musical family tradition, surrounded by a mix of blues, bluegrass, traditional country, jazz, and rock & roll. His first recording project, “Too Damn Cold,” with The Forecasters (1998) garnered international acclaim. (“Will Scott has a good vibrato and a knack for surprises” –Blues Revue). Scott’s first solo record, “Solo Electric Blues,” caught the attention of Ben Vaughn (That 70’s Show, Third Rock) and other notables in the California music industry. While a home-cooked recording project, that album helped launch Scott into New York’s music scene in 2002.

Summer, 2009, sees the release of Gnawbone produced by gold record recipient, Preacher Boy (Blind Pig Records, Coast Road Records, Eagle Eye Cherry). The new record, featuring guest performances by Jolie Holland, Samantha Parton (The Be Good Tanyas), and Jan Bell, continues to receive excellent reviews internationally, and is a finalist for Blues Album of the Year at the Independent Music Awards.

Scott has shared the stage with many respected and legendary artists including all of the above, Steve Earle, Buddy Miller, Band of Heathens, Elizabeth Cook, Ferron, J. Walter Hawkes (Emmy winner, Norah Jones), and Sam Myers. He recently completed two US tours and a UK tour featuring a debut performance at the renowned Glastonbury Festival.
