SCOOTER BROWN BAND
After more than four years, two tours overseas with one tour of combat in Iraq as a United States Marine, Scooter Brown traded his guns in for guitars and hit the road.
Scooter Brown Band was formed and began playing mainly in and around Houston, Texas. They have toured North America and opened for some of their biggest influences including Charlie Daniels Band, Travis Tritt, Dwight Yoakam, Lee Roy Parnell, and the Marshall Tucker Band, just to name a few. Two members having served in the military, they dedicate significant time doing work for Veteran Support Organizations like Base Camp 40 – Warriors in the Wild, Lone Survivor Foundation, and the Chris Kyle Frog Foundation.
For the last few years, the band has been building a new era in their career. Defined as modern southern rock, the band released American Son in late 2017 and was named in Artists to Watch by Rolling Stone. Spotify supported the title track of the album on playlists “Country Rocks,” “Southern Rock 101” and “Texas Music Now.” Brown was featured as a finalist on USA Network’s “Real Country” in 2018 and was awarded Male Vocalist of the Year at the Third Annual Rocky Mountain Country Music Awards presented by iHeartRadio.
In July 2019 the group made their debut on the Grand Ole Opry stage, introduced by fellow road warrior, Opry-member Charlie Daniels. The band has continued a rigorous touring schedule while writing with some of the biggest songwriters in Nashville.
OPENING FOR SCOOTER BROWN BAND:
MICHAEL MORROW & THE CULPRITS – Hard Rock Countryfied Blues
Michael Morrow has performed in the Colorado Region for years. Influenced by 70s rock and rhythm & blues, he put together his 3 pcs outfit that combines a lively show along with melodic songs. The Culprits comprise of Steve Haywood on bass who hails from Cambridge,UK (shhh, also a microbiologist). He provides the harmonies that help fill out that full sound that is often praised about the band. Sammy Parks, a Native Coloradoan, who’s previous work in Sketch (2000’s indie band) shows up in his venerable drumming.
This trio combines a nice mix of their own material and great cover material that has found their way to new fans. Performing festivals with national bands to performing their own produced shows, Michael Morrow & The Culprits has become a staple in the Rocky Mountain Region.
Michael’s hollowbody Gretsch tone is as much a part of the sound of the band as his strong vocal timber. They have performed regionally the past few years as they continue outward from Colorado.
Golden History Moment
The November 10, 1910 Colorado Transcript announced that the Overland Hotel was slated for demolition. The fraternal organization, Woodmen of the World, had purchased the building and planned to build a new lodge hall on the property. The plan called for all members to show up on Sunday and participate in the tear-down.
It is believed a small army of men will be on hand and make short work of demolishing the building. The various carpenters and other men who have practical knowledge as to how to go about the wrecking will take charge and direct the work.… The Woodmen expect that work on the new building will be commenced within a very short time.
Colorado Transcript – November 10, 1910
The next week’s paper announced “The old Overland hotel, relic of pioneer days is no more. The historical old building has given way to the mark of progress, and in its place will soon arise a splendid modern building.”
While the demolition went according to schedule, the splendid modern building never emerged. The lot stood empty until 1922, when Grant Churches purchased the property and built a garage on the spot. He later remodeled the building to hold an indoor swimming pool–the Golden Plunge. Today, it’s the site of the Buffalo Rose Event Center.
Thanks to the Golden History Museum for providing the online cache of historic Transcripts, and to the Golden Transcript for documenting our history since 1866!
