Scott (Voice, Drums, Bass, Rock Ensemble)

Scott began playing guitar at the age of 15. While originally inspired to become a musician after attending his first concert (Elton John), with no piano in the house, it was the Leo Kottke album "My Feet Are Smiling" that inspired him to take up guitar instead. After a few years working with Peabody-trained guitarist Steven Herron, Scott continued studying the instrument on his own, eventually attending Towson State University, focusing on classical technique and music theory. The best way to describe his playing is "acoustic finger-style" incorporating the techniques of Kottke, Tommy Emmanuel, Jorma Kaukonen, Chet Atkins, Richard Thompson, Ralph Towner, and a great many more. In addition, Scott has performed around the Annapolis area for 40 years, first in his bands Loose Lips and Amnesia, then as a solo guitar-and-vocal act, followed by a 33-year (and counting) tenure as lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist in the popular Annapolis-area band The Music Room, and more recently in the duo Gitz & Shiggles with vocalist Jennifer Marie.

He is a dedicated educator, eager to explore any genre or technique with students of all ages. A native of Baltimore, MD, he attended the Peabody Conservatory of Music, where he studied jazz guitar. In addition to his sideman work, he leads his group, SoulTET, a DMV live music scene staple.

Sean (Drums & Scream Vocals)
Sean has spent over 15 years of his life dedicated to the passion and creativity of drumming. His main genres of choice are: metalcore, pop punk, 70s and 80s funk, and 90s to 2000s hip-hop. He believes in the softer approach to music, allowing someone to find their own comfort level before bringing in new concepts so they don't feel too overwhelmed by something they truly love and want to do. He has also recently become a scream vocalist, using his natural low range to enhance his tonality and cadence.
