Scott H. Biram
Biography
Every so often, an artist comes along, playing music that makes you stop in your tracks and say, "Yeah, that's exactly what I needed." Scott H. Biram is that artist. Biram offers up a unique blend of "real" country, old-school acoustic blues, and punk. With influences ranging from Minor Threat and Slayer to Bill Monroe and Mississippi Fred McDowell, Biram takes on some of America's finest music and turns it into a phenomenal album that's as dirty and raw as it is impressive. Biram is a one-man band, playing all his songs on a '59 Gibson hollow body, yet each song he plays differs vastly from one to the next, and Biram dishes out a rare sense of self-confidence and independence only rivaled by the originators of outlaw country music themselves.
Biram's number one love is the blues. Next in line come punk, metal, country, bluegrass, tejano, and zydeco. The one-man band was born and raised in a rural area in the Black Land Prairie region of Texas -- a stretch of land characterized by tall grass and rich fertile soil that stretches from north Texas to the San Antonio area. Biram regards Lightnin' Hopkins and Doc Watson as two of his major musical influences.
