Scott and Haven were fantastic! They played a good mix of covers and originals and interacted very well with the audience. Nice people to work with also!
We were looking for a bluegrass style band for a corporate event/cocktail party and found Scott & his band via GigSalad. He was great with communication beforehand and the band did not disappoint! Would definitely recommend and plan to call them again when we have future needs. Everyone raved about the band all night!
Response from Scott Slay & the Rail:
Thank you so much. You were very hospitable, friendly, and easy to work with.
The band was great, a definite highlight for our guests. They were on time, professional, and friendly. Best of all, they were a lot of fun. We would recommend them for any event.
Scott and his band played our holiday party and everyone loved them!
Response from Scott Slay & the Rail:
Thank you for having us KC! It was a stellar party.
I only wish they could have played longer.
Response from Scott Slay & the Rail:
Hey Caley,
Thank you for having us and for being such a gracious host.
Take care,
Scott Slay

Scott Slay is a professional musician who performs with a killer mix of musicians on the east coast as a 2-6 piece group known as Scott Slay & the Rail. Many famous names have been a part of this group to include: Sammy Shelor, Brandon Bostic, Chris Sexton, and Mark Schatz.
Scott is an award winning mandolin and guitar player who is capable of playing in multiple styles in any genre, but there is a special place in his heart for Bluegrass music.
You can find Scott meddling with his loop station, playing with the Americana group, Big Virginia Sky (which recently released an album featuring mandolinist Sierra Hull), or enchanting a brunch crowd with 5-time Banjo Player of the Year and Lonesome River Band frontman, Sammy Shelor.
Scott's favorite places to play are breweries. He loves craft beer.

We required power to be at least 2 feet from the performance space. This can be an extension cord. Yet, the power source should be provided by the client/venue. We can perform acoustically without power, but this will only work in a small, quiet, listenin
