Scott H. Biram is a musician who combines blues, hillbilly and country with punk rock and metal music influences.
Biram plays a 1959 Gibson guitar, a harmonica, and keeps time with a setup that amplifies his left foot as he stomps time. He also uses a combination of beat-up amplifiers and old microphones to achieve a vintage sound.
Scott H. Biram was involved in a near fatal auto accident in which he was hit head-on by an 18-wheeler at 75 MPH in March of 2003. On May 11th, one month after the accident he took the stage at The Continental Club in Austin, TX in a wheel chair with an I.V. still dangling from his arm. The accident caused 2 broken legs, a broken foot, a broken arm and 1 foot less of his lower intestine.
When Scott H. Biram took the stage at his 2004 SXSW festival showcase right after Kris Kristofferson he was quoted as growling "They said that was a hard act to follow....I'm a hard act to follow motherfuckers!!"
He has toured and performed with Hank Williams III and Wayne Hancock amongst others. He is also signed to the same recording label that Wayne Hancock is signed to, Bloodshot Records.
Scott Biram lives in Austin, Texas.
