Guitarist Scott Appleton grew up in the small town of Kaukauna, Wisconsin and started his musical career as a pianist.  “It was difficult not to when your mother is the piano teacher”, says Scott.  However, upon turning the ripe old age of 10, Scott declared he no longer wanted to play the instrument, and was given the choice of guitar or drums.  Because drummers have to carry a lot of stuff around, Scott opted for guitar. He went on to play in many different local bands in high school and college, going on to tour with an international variety show, which due to still-pending paternity suits, we are not at liberty to name.

After brief stints in Tucson, Arizona, and Boulder, Colorado, Scott relocated to Nashville, Tennessee to continue pursuit of his musical career.   Eschewing bands with any capital letters in their name, Scott played with groups such as more., and funkiphino, but like many musicians, found himself in need of a day job.   So, rather than pursuing a promising career as a Pizza Relocation Specialist, he accepted an offer as a guitar tech for country artists such as Terri Clark, Brent Mason, and The Oak Ridge Boys, among others.  After re-discovering rock and roll, Scott has worked for artists such as Neal Schon of Jourrney, Bob Mayo (keyboardist for Peter Frampton), The B-52’s, Tommy Shaw of  Styx, and Al Green, to name a few.
