Scott Holt

The American South has an incredibly rich musical legacy. Maybe it’s the air or the soil but whatever it is, the South has been witness to the birth of Jazz, Rock, Country and The Blues. American Roots & Blues songwriter/singer/guitarist Scott Holt has been a bearer of the art form for his entire career. Born and raised primarily in Tennessee, he and his family also made homes in Alabama, Texas and Mississippi. After beginning his musical journey at 19 years old, Holt jumped on the fast-track by joining his friend and mentor Buddy Guy and playing guitar for 10 years during the most successful period of the Blues legend’s career.

In addition to his tenure with Buddy Guy and playing on the GRAMMY winning record Slippin’ In, Holt’s 7 solo records’ have established him not only as a six-string virtuoso but also as a penetrating and soulful storyteller. Holt calls it “creating a soulful communion; getting to a place where the sound that my band and I make are like an embrace; warm, human and uncorrupted by technology.” Through the countless hours and miles on the road, criss-crossing the US and Canada, Scott has developed a reputation as one of the most exciting live acts in the world. In 2022, Scott was invited to join the legendary Foghat as lead singer and guitarist. Foghat continues to be one of the hardest working bands in the business touring relentlessly and recording a new album.
