Scott has been playing guitar since the age of 13. His early influences were Southern rockers Lynyrd Skynyrd, Molly Hatchet and the Outlaws. He began his career as musician playing in the early eighties with a local Rock band named "90 Proof". For over 25 years, he was the guitarist with Treason which was a very successful Classic Rock band that played all throughout Southeastern PA, New Jersey and Delaware. Scott also played lead guitar in a very popular local Classic Rock/Horn band called "Red Dog" which specialized in artists like Steely Dan, Chicago and Jethro Tull. In 2012 Scott returned to his love of Southern rock and formed "High Noon". His goal was to be a successful tribute band playing note for note renditions of the great Southern Rock classics he grew up. Scott continues to lead and manage the band as they play all throughout the East Coast region. Scott also plays Mandolin and a few other instruments as well.
Mike was born and raised in New York City. He started playing drums when he was 5 and was playing with a Drum & Bugle Corp when he was 10. He learned from some of the best Rudimental Instructors available. Shortly thereafter, he began playing in local bands in clubs and outdoor venues. During this time he studied with some of the great drum instructors in the NYC and Greater New York Area. And, he always had his older brother John who is an accomplished Snare Drummer keeping him honest on technique!
In the mid 70s, Mike began playing in local bands and gaining experience in clubs. His experience varied among working bands of different genres including Rock, Progressive Rock, Jazz, and even Dance/Wedding Bands. He credits his time with a successful progressive rock band, Flying Colors, as being one of the best educational experiences of his life because of the amazing level of musicianship and complexity of the original compositions. That was a time of great experimentation for Mike, where all the training paid off.
It was in the 80s that it all came together for Mike and he established himself as a working drummer playing, recording, and he took his first steps in teaching. He's grateful he took that step as teaching is one of his greatest passions until this day, and his main focus when he is not playing with the amazing musicians of High Noon. His students are diverse and are studying varied types of music. Amazingly, his students range from 6 to 75 years old and he enjoys every minute watching them reach their goals!
Mike is excited to join High Noon and be part of delivering the best Southern Rock musical experience possible for the fans!!!
Mike has spent the past 10 years playing with the very successful NY based Classic Rock band Victims of Rock.
Mike and his wife live in the Harleysville area. They have 3 children, 2 daughters and one son, plus 3 grandchildren who he hopes will become drummers!
