Fisher is a sophisticated songwriter distinguished by a remarkable voice, deft keyboard mastery and eye-and-ear-catching poise. His current self titled release is a ‘smart pop’ fusion of old school ‘70s funk-soul-groove and modern rock. The album has received national airplay on non commercial and triple A stations around the country with the track “Tragedy Untold” reaching #138 on the commercial triple A charts. G. Michael Keating, Program/Music Director at WBCG -The Beach 98.9FM in Punta Gorda, Florida found that the track “possesses a keen lyrical relevancy and an lively, up-beat rhythmic energy that smashes the airwaves with an undeniable resonance. Fisher delivers an ode to love like no one has in years! Scott Fisher is an artist to be reckoned with now and in years to come. In the meantime, don't miss this fine debut that stands out in stark contrast from the pack...from a future core artist who is, "true to the music."

Press accolades on the national level include Keyboard Magazine who said “His charismatic vocals cast a nod to Billy Joel and Dave Matthews " while Genre Magazine called Fisher “(a) piano-master…a new arrival to keep dibs on.” Additionally, the All Music Guide stated that “his knack for songcraft is abundant and clear.”

Scott Fisher was produced by Fisher and mixed by Steve Sundholm, a rising LA producer (Geoff Byrd). Several of the twelve tracks have already enjoyed industry success – charting on Garageband.com All Time Top 10; employed as a video sound bed on the Abercrombie & Fitch website; and “Nothing,” the album’s bittersweet single, pronounced “the perfect pop song…a Grammy winning single” by mp3.com founder Rod Underhill. Radio-ready tracks include the reggae-tinged “Struggle” and the hooky “For Today,” each illustrating Fisher’s growing socio-political voice. Two instrumentals grace the record – “Interlude,” commissioned for a national TV campaign by the Red Cross (along with Pete Yorn and Badly Drawn Boy), and the album’s prelude, a funky retro jam that demonstrates Fisher’s keyboard prowess.

Recent regional praise for Fisher has included the Santa Barbara Independent’s assertion that his “brand of catchy piano-pop is surprisingly refreshing…both talent and heart to spare." and the San Francisco Examiner, who noted that “the mellow vibe of Scott Fisher’s self-titled debut album is as easy on the ears as the Oregon native is on the eyes.” Fisher has performed in-stores at several Borders Books since the album’s April release upon the chain’s request. Fisher’s talented band includes drummer Josh Yaha (Jack Johnson), bassist Matt Voth and guitarist Bob Dunham.

Scott Fisher
lead vocals, piano, Wurlitzer, Rhodes, synth
Born in Portland, Oregon to a French diplomat family, Fisher’s upbringing included bilingual studies and classical piano training. While majoring in Philosophy and Political Science at Boston University, Fisher played in Liquid Sunrise (jam-oriented touring act) and Soular (jazz-fusion). Upon returning to Portland, he produced his first solo album “Fleeing Towards Creation.”  A gifted singer, talented pianist and exceptional songwriter, Fisher’s influences include Herbie Hancock, Steely Dan and Paul McCartney. Now based in Los Angeles, he tours extensively with his four-piece band.

Matt Voth
electric and upright bass, vocals
A native of West Virginia and a true "journeyman" bassist, Voth’s facility ranges from Americana to jazz fusion. He demonstrates the poise and mastery that comes from his many studio recordings and extensive road work throughout the US and Europe.  A key creative partner, Voth’s musical wisdom and understated vocal harmonies bring ballast and inspiration to the project.  He channels the influences of George Porter, Jr. (The Meters), John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin), and James Jamerson (legendary Motown player) to lay a dynamic foundation for Fisher’s contemporary songs.

Bob Dunham
electric guitar
A Portland native, Dunham made waves with Burlington, Vermont's hip-hop/acid-jazz act Belizbeha, selling over 20,000 albums. Dunham’s old-school, blues-jazz guitar expertise is updated with contemporary sensibilities while mining the classic soul sounds of his vintage 50’s & 60’s guitars and amps. Some of the influences he brings to this band — ranging from Mark Knopfler to Steve Kimock to Steve Cropper — come across in his expressive solos and distinctive rifts while his overall tasteful playing pairs beautifully with Fisher’s piano-driven pop.

Josh Yafa
drums
LA-based, Yafa’s versatile percussion complements the breadth and depth of Fisher’s songwriting. Yafa trained with Tom Donlinger (Van Morrison, Jerry Garcia) and Casey Scheuerell (Jean-Luc Ponty, Chaka Khan), later honing his distinctive style playing for Jack Johnson and jamband road dogs, ALO. His organic approach evokes Billy Martin, while he creates a deep, texture-rich groove that freshens the pop medium. Yafa joined the band in 2003, completing the current Scott Fisher sound.
