The Scott Weis Band is becoming Blues Rock’s newest buzz, after 5 years storming the eastern seaboard of the US with opening acts, festivals and night 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 their high energy rock infused style blues, blending in a little good ol’ Memphis soul.
When we think we heard it all, SWB breaks out the acoustical 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 journey of music. SWB is simply not to be missed – they do it all with 100% heart and soul”

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 their feet – this is truly a sight to see and hear.
- The Night Hawks
Scott Weis Band is a great unsigned artist with 2 CDs under their belt and a third on the way, selling more than 7,000 CDs 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.

To see the Scott Weis Band live is a whole other experience. I have not seen a musical union like this in years. Their musical bond is reminiscent of Led Zeppelin or Cream.

To See Scott play live is an experience. This soft spoken guy rips his heart out of the guitar and sings with a voice that can sing raw bues, down home soul, or a great ballad, truly amazing.”
- Leon Wilkison
I once asked Scott why is it that when you play, you have this energy that takes over a room?
“For me, playing is a spiritual thing and when I get up and play I am in a trance like state. You gotta feel it deep down or you don’t stand out.”
The Scott Weis Band does not just stand out, they TAKE OVER.
