The road has always been a friend to many musicians and Scott DuBose is one of them! “I love the road, it’s always been my solace.” It seems that he’s always been on the road. As a child Scott spent a lot of time between Chicago and Southern Mississippi. Scott’s Father was from just south of Hattiesburg Mississippi, and his mother was from the south side of Chicago. “It was great having parents from such diverse backgrounds. It really gave me an appreciation for city and country life” Scott’s father was born in a log cabin on a road named after his family. “My father came from a dirt poor, dirt floor household. He really had nothing growing up and I am eternally thankful for all the gifts he gave me when was a child.”
His parents always had country music playing through ought the house and WJJD was the radio station of choice. “WJJD was the AM country station that my father loved and I loved as a child” They played Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, and Merle Haggard in their heyday. I would spend my days singing along with the radio.”
Scott grew up on the Southside of Chicago. He’s was a natural athlete winning a conference championship for his high school wrestling team. During high school he began working at a legendary Southside honky tonk, Lake-n-park inn. Legend has it that Lake-n-park was the inspiration for “Bob’s country bunker” in the movie “The Blues Brothers” He cut his teeth as a bar back (and occasional bouncer) and for him it couldn’t have been a better fit. “I loved the music and the atmosphere! I really felt at home” The house band became his inspiration. “Breakaway showed me what it was like to give the audience 110% EVERY night” Breakaway played the hits of the day and had a hit on Chicago country radio with their song “Angel on my shoulder”.
Scott began his professional stage career after he attended the Second City Training Center. He acted in a number of productions in Chicago, most notably “Working” by Studs Turkle. He was working at the show “Tony and Tina’s Wedding” when he met his wife. “Danielle came to the show with her coworkers and I danced with her. While we danced I picked her up and haven’t put her down since”. At the time Scott was playing the part of “Donnie Dolce” the singer of the house band. During his four and a half years with the show he sang close to 320 shows a year and 30+ shows singing along side legendary singer Frankie Avalon. “
The band at the show was made up of some of the best musicians in Chicago and they gave me quite the education! They were tough on me and really made me perfect my craft.” While at Tony and Tina’s, Scott started his band “The 101 Ranch”. He was doing his shows at Tony and Tina’s and then running to do shows with his band. “It really came down to what I truly loved. I left Tony and Tina’s because country music is what was in my heart.” It was a risky move. At that time in Chicago, country music was a hard sell. Scott persevered and found success. He has played with Charlie Daniels, Keith Anderson, and Blackhawk just to name a few. “The fans have made what I do a reality. Without them I’d be nothing. I can’t thank them enough” Currently Scott’s playing over 100 shows a year.
