Percussion

Experience:

 Scoot is a career musician, raised in a musical family as well as self-taught. Beginning professionally at the age of 12, he has toured the US and Canada for over 46 years. 

  Staring out as a singing drummer (such as Don Henley, Phil Collins, Levin Helm) it all came quite natural for him. 

   In the early 90’s, ScOOt was the lead singer in one of Charlotte’s most popular bands, Brothers from Mother. Soon after he started playing Acoustic gigs as well and to this day has paved the way for others after him to make a living playing acoustic shows in our community. 

   In the late 90’s, he was starting to get requests to teach drums, guitar and vocal lessons privately so ScOOtmusic Inc. added teaching to his repetoire. 

Sharing the gift of music with others who have the dreams and passion he had growing up has been extremely rewarding. It is with this passion, humor (don’t take yourself too seriously attitude) and excitement.
