Scott St. Louis Music

The song writing is the magic behind the music and the delivery is amazing. The defining factor is the way the hook defies the odds. Each of the songs has a way of finding you in a quiet moment and taking over your consciousness. Scott St. Louis Singer, Songwriter. Musician. Lyricist. Producer. Guitarist. Pianist. Bassist. Drummer. From his origins in the dusty hills surrounding Fresno, to dark, penniless months spent fighting demons on the doomed streets of a post 9/11 New Orleans, Scott has painstakingly persevered to create a personal, yet universal musical dialog that speaks to all, a raw honest commentary that showcases his talents, the myriad of influences, and the personal triumphs and failures that have reached their zenith in his long anticipated solo release, a work that early reports have said finally combine the complex set of influences that have created his signature sound. Almost shocking in its honesty and humility, Scott St.Louis’ music has quietly brought him from CBGBs to the corporate halls of CBS, where he has crafted songs for television projects. Once dubbed one of "the top 5% of songwriters working in the industry today" his work reads like a who’s who of the vibrant undefinable world of underground Rock and Roll in Southern California. He achieved worldwide success with the notorious Ditch Bank Okies, playing on six international releases, Scott was also the main singer songwriter in Boss tweed and ThereGoI. In addition he has shared the stage with many others, including Rocco Deluca (whom played on some of the Boss Tweed Recordings) Mike Martt, Peter Case, The Cadillac Tramps, Tex and the Horseheads and members of Sublime to Bad Religion among others. Now he returns. Scott St. Louis is releasing a full length solo record late this summer which will be available for international release after he returns from a European summer tour that will take him to London, Scotland, Berlin, Hamburg, Prague and many other smaller venues in between.Except for a surprise gig on MTV’s Suburban Project, Stateside fans will have to wait to hear and see the new work until this fall. But they can be assured of classic Scott St. Louis. A personal blend of music referencing influences as varied as Dave Alvin, Dave Grohl, and the Ramones. There is no easy description to his work, but perhaps for one alluded to in a reference from Scott St Louis himself. "Music is my demon and my Saviour. It is the only way I can open a dialog with the world. From my carefree days playing for chump change on the Sunset Strip to soul searching alone in my apartments, it is all I have. I give it away freely. The results are not up to me" It is a conversation this critic hopes to hear more of. It is a dialog that Scott St.Louis has spent years defining. We eagerly await the next installment.
