The Scott Weis Band is becoming Blues Rock's newest buzz , why we ask after 5 years storming the eastern seaboard of usa, with opening acts, festivals and nite clubs, leaving behind the memory of "No Bullshit Rock and Roll" Tinsley Ellis-Blues Great.
Scott and Crew have raised the levels of blues with there high energy rock infused style of blues,blending in a little good old memphis soul too.
"When we think we heard it all SWB breaks out the acoustic instruments in the middle of a set ,upright bass, acoustic guitar and percussion and raises the bar again, taking you on a total powerful soulful jouney of music...SWB is simply not to be missed they do it all with 100% heart and soul." Sam Kelic -NE-East Entertainment
"A Scott Weis Trademark, not only is Scott a great singer and guitar player but when he solo's with one hand on the guitar and the other playing harmonica in harmony drives crowds to there feet this is truly a site to see and hear" The Night Hawks
Scott Weis Band is a great unsingned artist with 2 Cd's under there belt and a third on the way selling more than 7,000 cd's grass roots.
“The Scott Weis Band†whose music not only served as a satisfying prelude to the main feature but also held their own to the point an audience member might forfeit their expectations anything was to follow. This was simply because the musical need was fulfilled by this fantastic band."
