ABOUT

Scotty Swan

Professional Guitarist & Bassist for Hire

I'm a professional guitarist and bassist with over 40 years of live performance experience, available for paid fill-in gigs, rehearsals, studio sessions, touring, corporate events, theatre productions, festivals, and long-term projects.

Whether you need someone to step in for a weekend, learn an entire set quickly, or become a dependable member of your lineup, I come prepared, learn fast, show up on time, and focus on making the band sound great.

I'm dependable, professional, easy to work with, and always focused on supporting the song and the band. Available for paid local, regional, and touring opportunities.
