Bio

Since cutting his teeth on the Nashville music scene, Toluenes vocalist & songwriter Jamon Scott has narrated his tales of love and alcohol on stages from Asbury Park, N.J. to Los Angeles, CA, including the legendary Rainbow Room on Hollywood’s Sunset Strip. With comparisons to John Mellencamp, Jimmy Buffet and Steve Earle, Jamon has garnered Best Male Vocals and Best Lyrics awards on Garageband.com. Scott also made his small screen debut in the 2007 Indie Gathering Film Festival winner for Best Television Pilot, “Bottle Rockets”. In addition to co-writing and co-starring in the episode, Jamon performs several songs. “Bottle Rockets” was screened at the 2008 Cannes Film Festival and garnered top awards at the 2009 Las Vegas International Film Festival, the Accolade Television Awards and the World Independent Film Expo.

Guitarist Brian Blush got his first taste of success in 1995 when his band, The Refreshments, were accepted into the South By Southwest music festival. The appearance resulted in the band being signed by Mercury Records. Their debut release for the label, Fizzy Fuzzy Big & Buzzy, garnered two Top 20 hits, including the Top 10 Banditos. The Refreshments also wrote and recorded the theme song for FOX TV’s King Of The Hill.

“…The Ramones meet Tom T. Hall”, “…a band with an attitude that’s all beer and backbone.” and “…one of those rare bands that makes you feel good, thoughtful and contemplative all at the same time” are just a few of the words reviewers have used to describe The Toluenes. Their latest c.d., “Quatro Hello”, was recorded in Nashville and co-produced by Jim Allison, who wrote such hits as Reba McEntire’s “What Am I Gonna Do About You” and LeAnn Rimes’ “Fade To Blue”. Their songs have received airplay on various independent and internet radio stations while their videos have logged thousands of views on YouTube. The self-proclaimed Southwest band from the Southeast is a 2010 Hossey Music Award finalist and the official spokeshombres for Kentucky’s own Ale 8 One soft drink.
