Scott Murdoch
Rhythm Guitar & Vocals
Scott grew up in Southern California where, as a teenager he had the opportunity to attend renowned clubs like The Golden Bear, The Troubadour, The Mecca and The Prison of Socrates. It was in these clubs where he saw up close and personal the likes of Hoyt Axton, Tim Buckley, Neil Young, and The Band, to name just a few. These artists made an indelible impression on Scott and remain some of his most important musical influences. The first time he heard “Like a Rolling Stone” he was hooked on Dylan.
