POP: Quirky, ROCK: Acoustic
Details:
With his laptop in one hand and guitar in the other, Scooter Scudieri is reinventing the rock star and redefining independent from his humble home in Shepherdstown , WV . Foregoing the traditional methods of an agent, manager, or record company, Scooter is utilizing high tech and high intensity to promote his music around the globe. His fans dubbed him the Internet’s first rock star, an arguable distinction, but one that he does not take lightly. Scooter considers himself a soldier on the frontlines of a music revolution. He has been a pioneer in digital-do-it-yourself and now represents independent artist rights on Capital Hill through the lobbyist group DCIA. His music offers a powerful affirmation of the human spirit and is the driving force behind his mission.
Scooter is inspired by life, love, and the human struggle to interpret the world and our place within it. He has an uncanny ability of turning negative into positive and thoughts into action. His musical influences are eclectic, ranging from Kiss and David Bowie to Bob Dylan and Neil Young with soul, punk, and folk thrown in for a unique and arresting acoustic style.
“I use my music as a message of peace, and the Internet as a means to connect us all.” - scooter
