The show is always shifted on the spot to the taste of the audience, whether it be pop, jazz, rock, rhythm & blues, or tropical.

Scott began playing guitar at the age of eight and started performing in public the following year. Almost completely self-taught, Scott has wide ranging influences including bluegrass, folk, classical, and progressive rock. A founding member of Fort Myers area bands No Sweat and XLNC as well as Treasure Coast groups Crossbone and SWS, Scott has delighted audiences for years with his passionate style that ranges from soaring and powerful to tender and delicate. Over the years, he has shared the stage with many top performers including Hootie And The Blowfish, Lisa Loeb, Dave Mason, The Outlaws, Foghat, Survivor, and The Guess Who. While playing as a solo performer, he is not above using modern technology to enhance the natural talent that he possesses. While some parts may sound "pre-recorded", all sounds are generated live and on the spot. Currently, Scott is at work on his first original project in a decade, with a release being tentatively scheduled before the end of the year.

 


 


 


Carl Adams


 

 

 



Performing at the Art Gallery Tent  
Saturday, February 27th - 10 am - 5 pm


Carl Adams is a nationally recognized flutist and flute educator who had a dual career as a university music professor and concert flutist.  His professional life began when he was selected to be a first-flutist in the United States Military Academy Band (West Point) upon graduating from college.

Perhaps the most significant of his performance opportunities came when he was asked to join Siegel Music Management, Inc. as their concert flutist.  As a result, he found himself giving solo performances at establishments such as the Kennedy Center, New York’s Carnegie Recital Hall and the Chautauqua Institution.   During this period, the New York Times reviewed him as an “artful, elegant” flutist. 

His dual career afforded him the opportunity to take early retirement from an active pace.  Today he continues his professional involvement by maintaining a small teaching studio; accepting a limited number of performances and teaching occasional master classes.  He also enjoys playing casual engagements such as private parties and restaurants as both a classical and jazz flutist.
