Scott began playing the piano at age 8 and 4 years later started a band. After high school, he studied music composition at Jacksonville University before leaving to join a road band touring the mid-west. Scott has worked as a solo performer, in a duo, and with a number of bands through five decades. You and your audience will hear and feel the difference with the addition of Scott's keyboard array.

TESTIMONIALS: Scott was the best bluegrass piano player we ever did see! We sho-nuff will hire him back! Clarence Swillbreath-fiddle
I saw Scott several times when he was with The Worx. A keyboardist who plays with savage emotion! Francoise Magiggy, Creative Slacking
Those country licking piano fingers really had me clogging all over tonight. We will have Scott back when we finally make it big! Kenny Cheesy.-drums
Not too shabby on those vocals! Sammy Haggard-white lightning master distiller-Ozark Mountain Boys Choir
Scott put the ump-pa in our polka music. What a player! The German National Polka Band
When we played Hava Nagila with Scott on the keys, the Palestinians and our friends all danced the night away. Thanks again Scott! The Jewish Heritage Folk Band
Scott played de best blooze, da Hammond was just a cookin and all the brothers received a baptism....it sounded a lot like there was a Buckethead influence there somewhere. We will have Scott back when we are working for more than drinks!!
Whiskey Ray Pete and Triple Trouble
It was clear from Scott's performance at the club that he really enjoys playing for 3 people who are ignoring the band around midnight, not to mention the loadout! It was lucky for us that he plays better than he looks!
Conan O'Ryan and the Leprechauns
Not only a fine keyboard player, but a genius of roadie work!! Scott played a great gospel revival gig, but afterwards he wrapped all the cords and loaded the entire PA while we chatted up the converts/groupies!
Jimmie B. Swaggurt and the Evangelical Voyeurs
Scott never met a 32nd note he didn't like! Will Rogers and the Overplayers
"We had a lot of compliments on the keyboards."-Really Big and Rich-- guy who lives on Lake Sinclair
"Scott plays like he was born in Sweet Home, Chicago!"- The Bluz Brothers (We were a little stiff that night)
Hey Scott,
Thank you for the excellent playing last night. We really had a great time working with you. Again, your impeccable professionalism was very much appreciated. Please use our group as a reference on any freelance work that comes your way. www.gpband.

We are sorry to announce the departure of our beloved keyboardist Scott Wiley aka..T-Bone...Cowboy Stag.
Don't worry. He didn't die (although we could kill him for leaving us), he's just leaving the band. Please come out and help us celebrate the many years he has graced our band with his presence.
His performance is simply a marvel to behold !
We will miss him dearly !!!
And this was the best band I ever had the privilege of playing in. Thanks for the kind words.
John Barefoot, Gary Hunnicutt, Roger Byrd, Frankie Aster, and Mike Long. Through about 6 years I will remember Whiskers, Anthony's and the Marina gigs as being some of the best fun ever. Thanks again to all of you for great music.
Cowboy Stag
