Scott H. Biram
by Donny Kutzbach
The sound that comes out of Austin, TX’s Scott H. Biram could be described as this: One man, one guitar, too much blues and equally good measures of heaven and hell fighting to get out. Biram’s wholly unique brand of swampy, outsider country-punk-gospel-metal-blues puts him squarely in his own genre. Along with his ‘59 Gibson hollow-body electric and his stomping foot to keep the beat, Biram has most recently crafted Graveyeard Shift (Bloodshot), a torn up hymnal of tales marked by a dusty underbelly coated in sin, temptation, alcohol and a little bit of Jesus. It’s pretty clear that this is what this feller was put on earth to do. While he’s been fortunate enough to share tours with folks like Kris Kristofferson, Hank Williams III, Th’Legendary Shack Shakers and Nashville Pussy, Biram’s self-proclaimed “dirty old one man band” nature often puts him out on the road to fend for himself. This current run is one of those deals. Scott H. Biram pulls his Lone Star state plates up to Mohawk Place on Monday for a stop on his “Texas As Fuck” tour, joined by Low Road Revival. Prepare to testify!
Monday, August 13 at 8pm. Mohawk Place, 47. E. Mohawk (855-3931)
