Scott H. Biram
The Dirty Old One Man Band
Austin, TX USA
Label: Bloodshot Records
Scott H. Biram unleashes a fervent display of conviction through, not
only the genuine blues, classic country, bluegrass, and rock n roll,
but he seals the deal with punk, heavy metal, and frankly, anything
else he wants to. He’s The Dirty Old One Man Band.
He will still the room with haunting South Texas blues, then turn it
upside down, into a truck driver's mosh pit. Like he says, it might be
baptism, or it might be murder, either way...you gonna see the light.
This legally ordained preacher’s singing, yodeling, growling, leering
and brash preachin' and hollerin' is accompanied by sloppy riffs, and
licks literally yanked, one at a time, out of his collection of
crusty, worn out, Gibson hollowbody guitars, and battle axes. All this
held down with a pounding backbeat brought forth by his amplified left
foot, and self customed stomp board. The remainder of this brutally
charming one-man band consists of an unwieldy combination of beat-up
amplifiers and old microphones strung together by a tangled mess of
guitar cables. Don’t get too close! You gonna get some grease on ya!
Years of compulsive touring, along with a steady diet of down and
dirty blues, rock, punk, country, and hillbilly have developed Scott
H. Biram's signature concoction, attracting a hefty array of fans who
dig the bizarre and twisted sides of the rock and roll spectrum. His
live shows, performed all over the world, deliver a take no prisoners
attitude, a stomping, pulsing John Lee Hooker-channeling, and cockeyed
tales of black water baptisms and murder, all while romanticizing the
on-the-road lifestyle. SCOTT H. BIRAM IS THE DIRTY OLD ONE MAN BAND.
