Details:
scott peckenpaugh fronted and wrote for the powerpop/punk band THE CUTOUTS in the early 80s. after they broke up, he continued to write and play music, but usually only for himself and friends -- only very rarely did he perform in public. he tried to do the 9 to 5 office, home, wife and family american conformity thing, but it just didn't fit. after 9/11, and the passing of his father, scott felt an urgent need to return to his soul and true calling. a friend heard some old tapes of his and insisted on buying him a guitar. he soon picked up an amp and a multi-effects pedal, and began performing again. playing an acoustic guitar, amplified and enhanced with effects, his voice and lyrics laid his heart out raw and naked on the stage; scott created a new and unique punk/folk sound, and found his friends becoming fans, and his fans becoming friends. later, another friend offered to buy him a computer, saying: "it's not often you get a chance to help make your friends dreams come true." using the power of modern technology to blend textured arrangements with the organic resonances of his vocals and guitar, he has created an unusual alt.punk/folk.electronica hybrid, enhanced by a voice that one fan says has a depth "that is like a shaking of the soul."
