Scott Wainwright is a Yorkshire based singer-songwriter and instrumentalist. His music draws from various musical genres including blues, gospel, folk, jazz and hip hop, as well as various “world musics”, such as African, Hawaiian and Indian.Working with acoustic finger style and bottleneck guitar, harmonica and occasional banjo and ukulele, Scott draws on his wide love for these types of music and celebrates the joy of pure creativity.
Writing and performing both vocal and instrumental pieces, Scott records regularly and now has a vast and diverse back catalogue of material. He has released numerous albums; EP’s and singles over the years, which have ranged in style from ‘Electric Blues and Hip Hop’ fusions (Every Man Has His Critics) to solo instrumental guitar workouts (What We Cannot Hold). In between these releases there have been regular bouts of ‘Lo-Fi’ folk (All That Glitters is Not Gold) and the odd dabbling as an acoustic balladeer (Whispers from a Kind River), whilst often drifting through the more experimental country blues sound that can be found on his ‘Strangers Here’ album. Several of Scott’s songs have been given the remix treatment, taking his rural blues style into Dub-step and Synth-wave genres.
His last two albums have explored the guitar instrumentally with 2018’s ‘Talking Backwoods’ album blending ‘American Primitive’ guitars styles with modern day electronics, whilst his more recent 'Guitar Trilogy', starting in 2019 with ‘Sentimental Debris’ and finishing in 2021 with 'Heavy Manners' are an exploration in solo acoustic guitar minimalism. Both have received rave reviews from critics and fans alike.
