Artist Profile: Scott Laughlin-Richard



Born and raised in the Beaumont/Port Arthur area in Southeast Texas, Scott Laughlin-Richard was influenced by that area’s diverse music scene at an early age. The Golden Triangle has spawned many well known artists, as well as many that never left the area. No matter the style, folks there seem to put a lot of heart and soul into their music.

Scott gravitates towards a blues/rock direction, but anything goes in the end. Influenced as a teen by bands like Wishbone Ash, Led Zeppelin, early ZZ Top, The Allman Brothers, Pink Floyd, etc., they still seem to be present in his style. Stevie Ray Vaughan said in an interview, that he was “...just playing everything that ever excited him.” Scott took that statement to heart, and that is what his music is really all about.

Here are some reviews for Scott:

"If you're looking for music you can like from the first listen, you've found it here. If you like blues rock with a hint of Stevie Ray Vaughan, you'll love these songs."

"Scott is an outstanding blues man and this CD is a must if you love blues or just great guitar work."

You can listen and purchase his music at CD Baby.

MUSIC...DISCOVER IT. SAVOR IT. SUPPORT IT.
