Scott Detweiler's unique blend of jazz and blues is built on rhythms indiginous to his native New Orleans. The
energy and soulfulness of his voice and playing has been compared to Jose Feliciano and Earl King, with the range of Aaron
Neville and Elton John. A compelling performer, singing and playing the guitar, whether he is playing solo or with his full
band.
His band has shared the bill with many bands including The Neville Brothers, The Allman Brothers Band, and Guns and Roses.
His symphonic premiere was with the New Orleans Symphony and his compositions have been honored by the Utah Composer's Guild,
The Nashville Music City Song Festival and the Billboard Music Awards.
From his, "Slumber Tongue" CD, a collection of instrumental pieces featuring a variety of work, from solo concert
pieces to full band compositions that brings Scott's all around guitar work to light for the first time (establishing him
as a brilliant soloist, both on electric and acoustic guitars), to his "Between Lake and River", the haunting concept
CD tribute to New Orleans, the diversity and range of style displayed by his CD catalog exhibits artistic depth, versatility
and vision that is an uncommon rarity.
Whether sweet & soulful or rockin' blues, Scott Detweiler is truely American original.
