BAND MEMBERS
Scott Bailey
guitar & vocals (band leader)
The son of deep-South parents transplanted to Lancaster, Pennsylvania, Tycoon Dog's leader and songwriter endured childhood piano lessons and school-band cornet performances before beginning to play guitar and joining his first rock band at age 14. After forming the bands Destiny and SecondWind in high school, and a brief music hiatus during college, Scott moved to NYC and racked up hundreds of gigs and numerous recordings with a number of area acts including Popthing, Mojo Conga Jam, Strange Bedfellows and The Band Next Door. Besides being rewarding to play and fun to listen or groove to, Scott's music explores the dynamic relationship between his simple rural past and his stressful urban present. This dynamism, coupled with an intense commitment to celebrating life through music, is what animates Tycoon Dog.
