Roots Rock
Scott Pemberton
Scott Pemberton
Roots Rock
Scott Pemberton Band is an emerging force on the national festival and club circuit, with his wild approach to the guitar and nimble funky band he is immediately recognizable and undeniably original. He doesn’t use a strap, often plays the guitar like someone would play piano and performs with the uninhibited joy and intensity of someone who recognizes that every time we make music is an honor and a gift.
Scott Pemberton’s sound is much like the vibe of his native Portland: freaky, fun and just the right amount of weird. The best way to categorize his music is with the moniker “Timber Rock”. Scott naturally applies his own lens/stamp to the sounds of the Pacific North West, the region he has always called home. The deep jazz, NW rock/grunge, blues roots and the west coast funk. It’s all there, and often all in the same song. Listeners are finding this honest, original and to-the-point music refreshing and fun.

Scott Law is a Portland, Oregon based guitarist, singer and songwriter dedicating his life to music through live performance, improvisation and his own compositions. As a solo artist and well-traveled accompanist, Scott’s intuitive musicianship, articulate tone and deep repertoire welcome the unpredictable with exhilarating results.
Law’s sound and style are well-spoken of rock, jazz, blues and folk music forms with “The reliability of a musician you can always trust… a continuator of the (timeless) scene that exploded in San Francisco in the mid-60's, and who, apart from being an extraordinary guitarist and a warm singer, always gives off a good vibe. A quality that, although not necessary, always adds up... a lot.” (Dirty Rock Magazine, OCT 2023)
Mentored by extensive stage experience with bassist Phil Lesh of The Grateful Dead, Melvin Seals (Jerry Garcia Band) and pioneering violinist Darol Anger (Republic Of Strings), Law’s quick ear and keen knack for elevating the potency of any collaboration creates pathways for audience connection. Whether curating unique cover takes or his own songs and instrumentals onstage, his joy for creating sound and bringing people together radiates.
Law has also performed, recorded and/or written music with Brokedown In Bakersfield, Cosmic Twang, Nicki Bluhm, Bob Weir, The String Cheese Incident, Aoife O’Donovan, Bill & Jilian Nershi, The Mother Hips, Peter Rowan, Tim Bluhm, The Travelin' McCourys, Keller Williams, Tony Furtado, Everyone Orchestra and many others.
Two solo album releases are now available for streaming; “Black Mountain” (2013), and “Living Room” (2009). New recorded releases are in progress for 2024.
