Georgia native Scott Colson, who goes by Slaw when recording and performing, is a soul man. His gritty vocals combine the smokiness of Otis Redding with the country twang of Darius Rucker, and he can belt out a rock tune with the raw energy of Elvis Presley and Robert Plant. Hailing from Macon, Georgia-the birthplace of Southern rock-Colson grew up listening to the likes of early Elvis Presley and classic R&B, and those sounds settled deep in his heart.

Throughout Scott's twenties and thirties, he played with a number of blues and rock bands. Eventually, he put music aside to focus on creating a successful business that provides beach equipment gear to renters of vacation properties. About a year and a half ago, he sold his business and started the process of making his debut album, the fittingly titled Here I Come.
