Scott Fisher Band Joins Patrick Lamb at Dante’s Friday

(Portland, Oregon) - It’s a night of musical cross-pollination at Dante’s Inferno this Friday in Portland, as the funky, jazzy Scott Fisher Band brings on special guest Patrick Lamb as they open for Seattle blues-popsters Left Hand Smoke’s CD release party and funk pop sensations Intervision 5.

Fisher’s band, which performs in the middle slot about 11 p.m., will host some intriguing jams with saxophonist Lamb.

Fisher is a sophisticated piano pop troubadour distinguished by a remarkable voice, deft keyboard mastery and eye-and-ear-catching poise.

Fisher’s “smart pop” fusion of old school ‘70s funk-soul-groove and modern piano rock first earned him national attention with official showcases at the 2002 Olympic Winter Games in Salt Lake City. He followed with a strong indie release, and in 2005 released his self-titled, self-produced sophomore album nationally on the 1 AM Approach label. His song “Tragedy Untold” reached the number two spot at WBCG in Punta Gorda, FL - landing the act at #136 on the Triple A Radio charts, as over 20 stations nationwide added album tracks. WBCG Program/Music Director G. Michael Keating wrote: “Fisher possesses a keen lyrical relevancy and a lively, up-beat rhythmic energy that smashes the airwaves with an undeniable resonance. His fine debut stands out in stark contrast from the pack...a future core artist who is true to the music."

Scott Fisher’s next album “Step into the Future,” will be released nationally Summer 2006. The album is being mixed by multiple Grammy nominee Jesus “Chuy” Flores, who has worked with Ricky Martin, La India and Intocable.

With the addition of new drummer Enrique Gonzales, the band gains a more driving, passionate sound. Gonzales is a LA session player for SONY/BMG and EMI, and formerly played with Jumbo (a top Mexican alternative rock act that sold over 100,000 albums). Fisher’s band, which also includes bassist Matt Voth and guitarist Bob Dunham, tour monthly between LA and Seattle. http://www.ScottFisherMusic.com
