Band Members: The Scott 76 EP features: Scott Hylbert along with Josh Tyler, Kris Woolsey, Shawn Byrne, Dave Ray, Brian Hylbert and Charlie Degenhart.
Influences: The Scott 76 songs were recorded during 2007 in Nashville across the street from Scott's house above Josh's garage. Thanks to Josh for producing the project. Kris loaned some guitars, riffs and laughs. Shawn some fancy fingerwork, Dave some steady pounding (and tapping). Songs were written by Scott, arranged with the help of Producer Josh, mixed by Josh and mastered by Kris. Basses were generally played by Scott but occasionally replaced by Josh. Guitars were often Scott, occasionally Kris, here and there Shawn, possibly Brian. Vocals were all Scott, with a splash of Josh and Kris and a rumour of Charlie. Strings, keyboards and programming were all Josh.
Sounds Like: At some point the year 1976 became a reference point. Perhaps out of irony? Or not...what I remember from '76 was my sister's KISS' "Rock and Roll Over" record. Pablo Cruise had a hit on the radio, along with Steve Miller, Joe Walsh, and lots of breeze rock. The North American Soccer League was steaming along. I attended San Diego Jaws soccer camp and skinned my knee on the diving board. Crazy swingers parties were happening in the suburbs, including ours! I was scared of public places; fairs, amusement parks, airports. And I didn't realize that Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld were both in the Ford administration. "Scott 76" takes some of these things into consideration. I hope you enjoy my record.
