SCOTT WAINWRIGHT

Yorkshire based musician and performing artist Scott Wainwright has been a regular feature on his local music scene for the last ten years, offering audiences an energetic and eclectic take on blues, folk and gospel music. After years of playing guitar in numerous bands, Scott decided to forge his way forward as a solo artist.

He has released numerous albums; EP’s and singles over the years, which have ranged in style from ‘Electric Blues and Hip Hop’ fusions (Every Man Has His Critics) to solo instrumental guitar workouts (What We Cannot Hold). In between these releases there have been regular bouts of ‘Lo-Fi’ folk (All That Glitters is Not Gold) and the odd dabbling as a singer songwriter (Whisper’s from a Kind River), though for now, our hero seems to have settled on the acoustic blues (Bric A Brac Blues) side of things. All of his albums evoke a wide range of emotions and feelings from his listeners, ranging from joy to anger, whilst taking in euphoria and rage along the way.

Scott plays extensive shows all over the place, both as a solo performer and as part of various duos and bands. Solo performances see Scott using Voice, Guitar, Harmonica, Foot Stomps and occasional Banjo to entertain and bewilder his audiences. Every performance comes with and element of homespun humor which often encourages audiences into singing along call and response style with some of his more jovial songs.

Scott Wainwright is also a Christian (but is still likeable), Married with two children and when he is not playing in one venue or another, he enjoys drinking tea and pottering on his allotment.
