Description
"I had the chance to see [Scottish McMillan] play recently, and he just, uh...it's one of these things where you watch someone and you think 'oh, my God, I'm watching something truly remarkable.' This guy, he can play guitar. He is amazing. I'm not even sure he approaches his guitar like an instrument -- it's like a weapon of destruction, the way he goes after this thing. After seeing the show, I had to have [his CD, "Vice Verses"]."
- James Van Osdol, DJ, "The Local Zone show," 94.7, WZZN, Chicago's "The Zone".
"...very impressive! Your guitar playing is clearly outstanding, and [you've got a] strong, kick ass voice, too. Really, you've got some serious ammo in that body. I wanted to tell you I thought it was great..."
- Stuart Davis, songwriter extraodinaire and hardcore yogi, to Scottish, regarding "Vice Verses" (www.StuartDavis.com).
He's good. Plays good guitar.
- (The late) Wesley Willis,legendary Chicago-based performing artist.
Scottish McMillan has been playing guitar for over twenty years, gigging around Chicago and the near Midwest for ten years, and has played great Saturday night shows at popular Chicago clubs like the House of Blues, the Cubby Bear, and the Double Door.
On his critically-acclaimed debut CD, called "Vice Verses," Scottish wrote all the songs, played all the instruments -- guitars, bass, hand percussion, and sang all the parts. The record is a patchwork quilt made of little pictures of his influences, and is a sure Q-Tip for ears clogged with the sticky goo of conventional 'rawk'. Half of the ten songs on "Vice Verses" have seen FM airplay on the local shows of all but one of the major Chicago and Kenosha, WI radio stations who have such shows. College radio has taken kindly to Scottish as well, and he looks forward to playing many healthy shows around college campuses everywhere, as his experience has shown him that kids dig the stuff. Must be his child-like enthusiasm....
Many performers say their style is widely varied. In Scottish's case, that's an understatement. From heavy metal-like distortion and rage to light, jazzy ballads, literally everything is covered. Scottish uses a "looping" pedal to sample his playing and take the occasional solo or to layer guitar harmonies.
In addition to being an accomplished guitarist/singer songwriter, Scottish has the advantage of having been a live sound engineer for over 7 years. He runs his sound from the stage (in the US) through a small rack of equipment that is set exclusively for Scottish's unique sound requirements. He hands the sound man 2 cables - one for the house mains, and one for the monitors, and controls everything himself. It might sound sketchy, but even the most discriminating sound engineers have commended Scottish on his ability to make his shows sound like a studio recording.
He played some bristling solo acoustic showcases at the Midwest Music Summit in Indianapolis, Indiana (in both 2002 & 2003) earning some fine appreciation there. He regularly tours the Eastern US, including stops in Pennsylvania, Ohio, Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, Connecticut, and will soon be in other states, including shows in Kentucky, Michigan, and more.

Scottish's career has moved to the next stage - international touring! Scottish toured the UK in September, 2003 with the Chicago Music Explosion. Over the course of 3 1/2 weeks, he played 17 shows all over England, Scotland and Wales, and gets emails all the time seeking his return. And that return will be in October, 2004! See www.chicagomusicexplosion.com for more info.
When you get the chance, check out Scottish's "So-Low Acoustic Show" for an experience that will totally renew your enthusiasm for seeing a solo acoustic show!
