Preston Scott Band
Where to start... So much has happened so quickly after only a year of gigging with a full band these youngsters have accomplished much more than they could have ever imagined! "We have already exceeded my expectations as far as the band goes," said Preston Scott. From playing their first few gigs at open mic venues to playing gigs at well known venues in front of hundreds of people just weeks later at Silverstar Entertainment Hall in Alvarado and Rockett Cafe were among the first "real" gigs! Inspiration has come from so many different styles and artists.. "I grew up listening to bands like Bad Company, Skynyrd, The Allman Brothers, & The Stones with my dad," Preston added. "...but when I was around his dad, my Poppa, he would always jokingly claim 'Tonight the Bottle Let Me Down' from Merle Haggard, to be his wedding song. So that's where I picked up on real country music." It is rare to find a band in which all members grew up in the same town. However, all 5 members are from the small Texas town of Midlothian! "It sucks that only one of us is old enough to drink, so all these gigs we are getting band tabs and praying that they serve food because 4 of the 5 of us are only 20 years old." This is a rapidly growing young group, already having played shows with artists such as the Tunpike Troubadours, one of the biggest names in the scene! "We haven't really had a whole lot of help," said Preston, "...but I kind of like it that way. It definitely makes me feel more accomplished and definitely shows that we are just using our God-given talent to pursue what was once a dream, and translating it into a reality. I love it!" Be on the lookout for this young pack of dedicated and determined guys, giving this career a run for the money!
