/BIO
Since picking up his first guitar at the age of four, Scott McKeon has devoted himself to the mastery of his craft and can now be considered to be one of the most gifted and naturally talented guitarist, singer/songwriters emerging on the UK blues rock scene. He plays with the technical expertise and passion that is the envy of musicians many years his senior. Scott made his debut on national television at the age of just seven and as the 1998 winner of Guitarist Magazine�s �Young Guitarist of the Year� title, he is already listed as one of the 27 best blues guitar players in the world on Google. Still just 20 years old, Scott has already graced the stage of the legendary Antones (where he has an open invitation to return), as well as sharing performance space with Buddy Guy, Jimmie Vaughan, Sonny Landreth, Joe Bonamassa and the North Mississippi Allstars.
