Keith Scott has been plying the bluesman’s trade since landing in Chicago from Florida in the early 1980s, and since then, he’s released five CDs of original blues, rock and acoustic music. Along the way, he’s played the Chicago Blues Festival, several Midwestern universities, breweries, and noted blues rooms in Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan. In 2011, he released two CDs that bookend acoustic and electric blues. I particularly enjoyed his unplugged Tennessee Blues.

Keith’s music has landed on MTV’s “Real World,” “Road Rules,” and “Making the Video,” and was featured in a short film, “Fault,” which screened at the prestigious MIPCOM international entertainment conference in 2002. He’s toured extensively with “West Side Guitar Hero” Jimmy Dawkins, and has worked with the late Johnny Littlejohn, Hubert Sumlin, Hip Linkchain, and Eddie Taylor.

If you’re fortunate enough to live near Chicagoland, check out Keith Scott live. He’s often working at clubs like Reggie’s on South State Street, the House of Blues downtown, or playing clubs all the way from Saugatuck, Michigan down to Warsaw, Indiana, and up to Baraboo, Wisconsin, and all points in-between. I enjoyed Tennessee Blues, but his second 2011 release, Universal Blues, is even better as it offers up a mixture of original electric and acoustic blues that more clearly show cases the breadth of this bluesman’s talent.
