Scott Whitfield, a gifted musician with a unique style, has taken music into a new dimension.
“I want people to appreciate the tremendous potential of good music. Vocals, guitar and banjo can produce phenomenal sounds and great entertainment. The music I play today is progressive, very versatile and suitable for all ages and for all kinds of events.” – Scott Whitfield
Scott Whitfield’s unique musical style stems from his extensive background in playing and studying jazz, blues, country and rock music. Scott’s blend of these influences along with his illuminating stage presence is what gives his performances such a distinctive style.
Whitfield has the ability to take his audience on a musical journey that transcends time. His guitar and vocal work brings to life the rock and country of the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s. Scott’s hard swinging banjo style brings jazz standards of the swing era back to life. His rendition of New Orleans style favorites is as good as it gets. Scott’s use of the tenor and plectrum banjo to deliver great pop, rock, country and folk standards open new horizons of the listening experience.
“Your quick ability to survey our intent and
needs and then weave it into a magic moment was superb! The production
company was bowled over by your delightful presentation.”
Graham Compton, General Manager, Polly Miller,
Team Services Manager,
