Scott C. Brooks is a disabled Appalachian Bluesman, composer and songwriter blending genres and diverse influences from across the globe. He has a unique bottleneck slide playing and storytelling style from the hills of eastern West Virginia, where he is semi-retired as a musician, farmer and local sound engineer in the regional venue and festival scene.
His first introduction to blues came by chance from piano player Daryl Davis in northern Virginia, where he then began to explore Piedmont, Delta, Chicago and Early rock styles from Chuck Berry, Fats Domino and the like, while working in the Midatlantic music and special event scene as a stagehand and audio engineer. Scott takes all those years of influences, stories and collaborations and combines them into traditional blues and modern experimental blues compositions.
After being disabled while in the army, and dealing with early onset Parkinson's disease, he developed a unique bottleneck blues style to continue making music.
