Scott H. Biram

Scott H. Biram presents up a distinctive mixture of “genuine” nation, old-school acoustic blues, and punk, with affects ranging from Small Danger and Slayer to Expenses Monroe and Mississippi Fred McDowell. Biram is really a one-man music group, playing all his tracks on the 1959 Gibson hollow body acoustic guitar and an amplified “stomp panel,” however each song is exclusive, and Biram meals out a uncommon feeling of self-confidence and self-reliance rivaled from the originators of outlaw nation music themselves. Explaining his music as “the bastard kid of punk, blues, nation, hillbilly, bluegrass, string gang, metallic, and classic rock and roll,” Biram was created in Lockhart, Tx and was raised in Prairie Lea (a little town of significantly less than 250 occupants) and San Marcos (a town of 50,000 not really definately not Austin). During senior high school, Biram became a member of an area punk rock-band known as the Thangs, and performed shows together after shifting to university (Biram earned a qualification in good arts from Southwest Tx State College or university). As he created a flavor for origins music (specifically Lightnin’ Hopkins and Doc Watson), he used a set of bluegrass rings during his university days, Scott Biram & the Sodium Peter Young boys and Bluegrass Drive-By. In the past due ’90s, Biram used his intense one-man band carrying out design and released his 1st album, THAT IS Kingsbury?, in 2000 by himself KnuckleSandwich Information label. Another self-released recording, Preachin’ and Hollerin’, made an appearance in 2002. In 2003, Biram was almost wiped out when his pickup truck was involved with a head-on collision having a semi on the Tx highway. While limited to his bed, Biram documented an EP, Treatment Blues, and significantly less than two months following the incident, Biram performed a legendary display at Austin’s Continental Golf club, performing on-stage inside a wheelchair with IVs still dangling from his hands. The Continental display described Biram’s relentless and rebellious picture, and he strike the road very difficult, playing as much as 200 dates annually and releasing information at a reliable speed. Biram’s 2004 recording The Dirty Aged One Man Music group attracted the eye of “insurgent nation” label Bloodshot Information, which released a modified edition from the disk in 2005. Since that time, Biram offers divided his time taken between his punishing street schedule and documenting songs for Bloodshot, turning out four albums (Graveyard Change, Something’s Eliminated/Shed Forever, Bad Substances, Nothin’ But Bloodstream, and The Poor Testament) and a set of singles between 2006 and 2017.
