Scott & Randy - the podcast is a fun-lovin, light-hearted new show based out of Portland, Oregon. A new episode is currently released every two weeks. While the show will cover weird world news and other excessively goofy and entertaining fodder, the show's main focus is to expose people from around the world to the enormous plate full of Grade A, top shelf musical talent that we are fortunate enough to have right in our own backyard here in PDX.
Each new episode brings the artist directly into the mind of the listener through insightful interviews and live, intimate in-studio performances as well as recorded tracks, all with the goal of enlightening the world with everything Portland has to offer musically.
Subscribers to the podcast will be consistantly treated to the brightest and best of Portland's music scene, no matter the genre. If it's good, relevant, and if it sits at the top of the PDX heap, it is exactly what you will find here every two weeks on Scott & Randy - the podcast.
We're glad you found us. Thanks again for being here, and we look forward to having you as a subscriber.
I've had a love affair with hearing my own opinions for many, many years now. And it's my distinct pleasure to bring those opinions to you now! I enjoyed my stint as News Director for KVAN radio and was honored to graduate the top of my class from the now defunct National Broadcast School in Portland. And with the help of Randy and this podcast, I hope to return to the world of voice talent as a voice-over actor. Lord help us all...
I'm also a music lover from waaaaaay back! And the opportunity to discover - along with all of you - some of the great musicians and bands out there in this big, beautiful world excites me no end. I certainly hope to educate myself, and many of you, along the way.
Currently, I spend my days as a professional photographer and owner of Main Street Photography & Events in Carlton, Oregon. I also enjoy riding my 1984 Kawasaki Ninja 900 as much as possible, seeing new places around this country, and intend to surrender to the inevitable requisite RV ownership that befalls us all as we age!
I dig sci-fi movies, fantasy novels, most genres of music, and am a cartoonist - and trekkie - at heart. You can also find me checking out craigslist, FaceBook, MySpace, and a multitude of photography forums. Sorry ladies (and a few of you "touchy-feely" guys), I'm married.
And, even though I'm unsure of how this regulation was instituted, I don't mind wearing the company mandated uniform. My favorite color of tutu is chartreuse. Please mark your score cards accordingly.
Well, what do I say here? I have been a musician as long as I can remember. I sang my first solo when I was 5 yrs old. It was Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer at my kindergarten Christmas program. As I recall, there were about 10,000 parents there.
Looking back, I guess it was the biggest kindergarten on the face of the earth!
Anyway, my mom's side of the family was very musical. Trips to Grandpa's house always ended up as a family jam session. Great fun!
I worked at Beaverton Car Wash and bought my first guitar, a Lyle acoustic, when I was 14. I bought my first electric when I was 19. A brand new Gibson SG, tobacco sunburst, which I still have. No other guitar quite fits my hand like that one.
Anyway, through the years I have been in several bands, played lots of solo stuff, and have been fortunate to have played with many notable individuals such as Andy Gibb, Jack Sonni of Dire Straits, John Primer and the Real Deal, as well as many of the best musicians on Florida's Space Coast and here in Portland.I can't begin to mention them all, but hopefully we'll have them all on the show and you will have an opportunity to get to know them too.
I totally look forward to doing this podcast, and my hope is that you will totally look forward to each new show.
Thanks very much to all of you listeners. Without you guys, the show would be pointless.
Scott and I promise to make it worth your while!
