Guitar
Lin
– Guitar, Vocals: Lin earned her nickname “Guitar
Lin” from the old timers in Austin, TX, learning
to play with blues legends Hosie Hargrove and Blues
Boy Hubbard. Quickly becoming a local favorite in Austin,
she formed her own band in 1996 and landed a weekly
gig at the world famous Antones, headlining every Thursday
for 4 years. Lin has opened for prominent acts such
as Jimmy Vaughn, Son Seals, Jimmy Rogers, Lazy Lester,
Gatemouth Brown, LouAnn Barton and Maceo Parker of James
Brown fame. She’s been called a cross between
Buddy Guy and Billie Holiday…more importantly,
anyone that’s heard her knows this girl can play. |
Scott
Mayo
– Bass, Vocals: Scott thumped his first bass note
35 years ago. Growing up in Orlando he played the central
Florida circuit with several bands in his early years,
playing venues from the smallest of clubs to the old
Atlanta Fulton County Stadium. More recently his pulse
and foundation could be heard backing the likes of Stephen
Miller & Ernie Lancaster until joing full time with
SCP several years ago. As Mark Korpi likes to say “
Mayo’s pounding rhythms lay down a groove that
no one can deny”. |

Ohio, Tom has a long musical career behind him. While

is Muddy Waters son. After several years of touring
he then went on to work with guitarist Steve Thorpe.

Tom is great blues shuffle drummer.
