ABOUT THE BAND

Rockin’ Scott & the Hot Shots

For over half of a century, Scott Alexander has been playing and singing blues and roots rock & roll, seasoned with the spicy flavor of New Orleans R&B. He has appeared on stage with such artists as Taj Mahal, Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown, Roomful of Blues, and Chuck Leavell, and has opened for the likes of James Cotton, Doctor John, and George Thorogood and the Destroyers. Scott played piano on the early recordings of Tinsley Ellis and the Heartfixers, including their collaboration with Nappy Brown on his critically acclaimed Landslide / Alligator Records comeback effort: “Tore Up”.

In the 1980’s, Scott founded the Night Flight All Stars, which morphed into the Savannah All Stars after the close of the renowned Night Flight Cafe. Today, he has reunited with veterans from that original group, bassist Mike Perry and drummer Jesse Jordan, to form his trio, Rockin’ Scott & the Hot Shots. Together, they cook up a tasty gumbo of fun for their listeners!

Rockin’ Scott’s style is heavily influenced by the icons of the New Orleans R&B piano tradition: Huey Piano Smith, Professor Longhair, Fats Domino, and Doctor John. An aficionado of Chuck Berry’s piano partner Johnny Johnson, and Big Joe Turner’s right-hand-man Pete Johnson, Scott’s playing and singing is anchored in the bluesy, R&B-influenced roots of rock & roll.

Mike Perry grew up in a house full of musicians, and knew early that music was his passion. A fixture in the Savannah area, Mike has played every type of establishment from churches to gentlemen’s clubs, from military bases to prisons. A longtime member of the Perry Brothers and G.E. Perry & Strange Brew, and currently supporting nationally celebrated blues rocker Eric Culberson, Mike has played in countless bands and has the stories and chops to show for it.

Jesse Jordan’s wide-ranging drumming experience includes touring nationally with John Brannen and Jack Williams, and holding down the beat for Savannah notables the Joja Band and, in the 1980’s, the locally renowned Veraflames - the closest thing to a house band holding forth at Savannah’s famous Night Flight Café. A music educator for over 20 years and master of many styles, Jesse’s extensive resumé includes working with such artists as Huxsie Scott, the Savannah All-Stars, and a stint in the house band for Savannah’s premiere riverboat attraction, the Georgia Queen.
