About Me


Since picking up his first guitar at the age of four, Scott McKeon has devoted himself to the mastery of his craft and can now be considered to be one of the most gifted and naturally talented guitarist, singer/songwriters emerging on the UK blues rock scene. He plays with the technical expertise and passion that is the envy of musicians many years his senior. Scott made his debut on national television at the age of just seven and as the 1998 winner of Guitarist Magazine’s “Young Guitarist of the Year” title, he is already listed as one of the 27 best blues guitar players in the world on Google. Still just 20 years old, Scott has already graced the stage of the legendary Antones (where he has an open invitation to return), as well as sharing performance space with Buddy Guy, Jimmie Vaughan, Sonny Landreth, Joe Bonamassa and the North Mississippi Allstars.
'Scott’s debut album, Can’t Take No More, (produced by Jesse Davey of The Hoax) is a blistering blues power release, showing just where contemporary blues recordings should be going. The album is generating a lot of buzz, having entered the iTunes blues album chart at number 4. ‘Scott plays heavy, muddy blues which doesn’t just rely on standard rhythms and traditional chord patterns… He plays it like a scarred bluesman with a sound that makes me jealous, at the same time his quite young but well developed voice completes it all in a perfectly suitable manner. His guitar sound oozes of the seventies with all the appropriate attributes such as rotovibe, octaver, fuzz and of course all of it coming from a dynamically loaded Strat.' - FUZZ Magazine (Oct 2006)
