(STUDIO & LIVE PERFORMANCE)
As a teenager, Scott Taylor was given a drum by a friend to pay off a debt, which started a lifelong dedication to learning and playing drums.  Scott furthers his skill and versatility with ongoing study.  "It's all about laying down a groove ...one that allows the listener feel something.  Musically inspired by classic bands like Thin Lizzy, Radio Birdman and the New york Dolls and  more modern post-punk stuff like Fugazi and Quicksand and heavily Influenced by the likes of like Dave Grohl, Josh Freeze and Jon Bohnam, he hopes to one day eminate one who has no boundaries.   A special thanks to O from Fluf and the guys from Full Boar, where Scott has recorded numerous records. All of the Full Boar records are his favorites (and, to include another project favorite,  the Whole Hog record 'Debt To Rock N Roll').  As the latest addition to The Lonely Ones, Scott thanks Joe Wood for inspiring him to take his drumming in a new direction and he looks forward to adding his talent to live & studio performance.

MENTORING JOE WOOD IN THE BLUES
SCOTT LAMBERT, BASS PLAYER - BROHY DALE, GUITARIST - HANK 'HOLLYWOOD'DELUX, DRUMMER
These are the cats that taught me everything I know about playing the blues. Spending countless hours with me in the garage, they schooled me in the lates and the greats of this American brand of music, music I wanted to play from the very beginning and long before I toured with TSOL.  I was a blues man in training with Scott Lambert(L) , along with Brophy Dale(C) and Hank "Hollywood" Delux, , they all mentored me and are the real reason there is a Joe Wood & The Lonely Ones.
