Introduction: The band: Scott Slay and the Rail has been an evolving group in many locations across the US. The band is currently a trio of guitar, mandolin, upright bass and banjo. Please visit my website for video and audio samples as well as a setlist. As you may know, Scott comes from Pensacola, Florida. Influenced early on by bluegrass icons Tony Rice and Sam Bush. Scott started playing their music at folk and bluegrass concerts at festivals in the Gulf Coast. Scott Gives Lessons: Scott has played with: LRB's Sammy Shelor, flatpicker Steve Kaufman, TR3's Dan Martier, Country Singer/HGTV Host Katie Rogers, award winning bassist Edgar Meyer, Glen Phillips of Toad the Wet Sprocket, and many more. Recently, Scott has been writing music for his first Americana/Folk album and has a total of 20 years of experience playing music for crowds of 3,000+. You can normally catch Scott playing as a solo act, with his band, "the Rail", his collaboration with Sammy Shelor "Big Virginia Sky" and with local and nationally famous musicians.

We love creating music and sharing it with those who truly appreciate the art form. Bluegrass is our favorite, but we just love having a goodtime like most folks!

Scott and his group showed up early to set up for sound check and were really fun to work with. When we had some last minute hiccups at our event during set up, they were flexible and laid back while we figured them out. Once they began playing, our guests kept commenting at what great music we had chosen and how great the band was. Without Scott and his group, our party would not have been as fun or engaging for our guests. I HIGHLY recommend hiring him for any event, big or small. We definitely will be for our next party.

Scott and his group were the best band I've ever hired. They arrived early, provided their own sound, dressed professionally, and kept my party guests dancing all night. I'd hire them again in a heartbeat.

Scott provided a 4-piece bluegrass band for my sister's wedding. He was knowledgeable and learned all the songs we needed for the toast and first dances and played them well. He was willing to make changes at the last minute and he was very professional. Great band!
