 Scott Ellison
During the 1970s, Scott’s home town of Tulsa, Oklahoma, was a
hotbed of musical talent. Eric Clapton and Freddie King’s
bands
were based in Tulsa, as was Leon Russell’s Shelter Records.
Influenced and electrified by the British Invasion bands, moved by the
sounds of Motown, and touched by the soulfulness of the Rhythm and
Blues music coming out of Memphis, Scott organized his first band as a
youngster.
In 1977, he began touring as a guitar
player with
Jessica James (Conway Twitty’s daughter), and by 1981
“Gatemouth” Brown had tapped Scott to play rhythm
in his
band. By the 1990s, Scott had formed a blues band and was
opening
shows for such legends as Joe Cocker, Roy Orbison, The Fabulous
T-Birds, Leon Russell, Bobby Bland and Buddy Guy. He
considers
opening for B.B. King at the Tulsa Performing Arts Center in January,
2008 a major highlight of his career.
A prolific song writer, Scott
has composed and
released numerous CDs. Cold Hard Cash, produced by Dennis
Walker
of Robert Cray fame, featuring all songs written by Scott and
Dennis, Live At Joey’s, Chains Of Love and Bad Case
Of The
Blues all have been well received.
Scott’s compositions have been
played on the
soundtracks of several popular tv shows, including “Buffy The
Vampire Slayer,” an MTV movie, and the 2007 movie,
“Feast
Of Love,” starring Morgan Freeman.
Scott tours the U.S. and Canada
extensively.
Quotes
“It
sounds and feels authentic throughout but is also accessible and
delivers the blues nicely for people that got their first taste of the
blues from the Blues Brothers." -Chris Spector (Midwest Record)
