Details:
Don Scott, a Minnesota native and disabled Vietnam Veteran, has been playing blues in one form or another for the last 36 years. In 1971 Don started The Dust Bowl Blues Band and has shared the stage with many blues greats at clubs and festivals throughout the US. For the past ten years he has been performing solo, appearing in the Midwest and the Southwest, as well as Europe. In 2000 Scott was invited to France for dates in Paris and Tregastel on the Brittany coast. He returned there the next two years for several well-received shows . Don has written many original tunes featured on his three self-produced albums. His debut CD, âHighway 52â, was nominated in 1997 for the Minnesota Music Awards best blues album. His second CD released in 1999, âScottyâs Bluesâ, was recorded in Tucson and favorably reviewed in the Minneapolis Star-Tribune and The Tucson Blues News. Don currently resides in Los Angeles and has just finished his third CD, âSome Other Dayâ. This CD received a very nice review in The Southland Blues in July, 2006. The current CD features four original tunes and chestnuts from TâBone Walker, Count Basie, Big Bill Broonzy and Brownie McGhee, some of his main influences.

Minneapolis Star Tribune â Tom Surowicz, review of Scottyâs Blues

âHe sings about the way things ought to be and the forces that make it otherwise. The approach is timeless.â
