Heartfelt groove oriented piano/pop

notes

Scott Fisher plays concise piano/pop that's a combination of Ben Fods, Dave Mathews and a little bit of Thelonious Monk. And it doesn't hurt that the man can play piano frighteningly well....
-The Oregonian


Portland, Oregon-bred piano-pop purveyor Scott Fisher is a striking talent as evidenced by this impressive eponymous set. "Nothing," the disc's opener, is a biting, mournful number that has the allure of Keane and the boldness of Ben Folds. If Fisher frequently draws comparisons to the latter it may only be because so few folks do the attitudinal piano thing this well, but his knack for songcraft is abundant and clear on keepers like "Humility" and "Tragedy Untold." Aside from having able pipes, Fisher is quite imaginative as he bounces from a Spoon-like thumper called "Chemicals" to a jazzy, ska-inflected rant "Struggle" with ease. Even if he's showing off on the heart-gushing "Interlude," he's insanely skilled. Fans of keyboard pop from Joe Jackson to Folds to Five for Fighting will not be disappointed.
Review by John D. Luerssen
-Allmusic AMG pick

Combining keyboard-driven songs with a committed vocal presentation, Scott Fisher comes across as a spirited piano man for the new millennium. Alternating his vibrant tenor with a high-pitched falsetto similar to Coldplay's Chris Martin, Fisher's magnetic voice and keyboard work serve as the highlight of his material.

    I ran to Scott Fisher and his band on mile 16 of the San Diego Rock 'n' Roll Marathon. The upbeat tempo of their music and intelligent lyrics helped me push all the way to mile 26.2! Thanks, Scott!

    Just saw the Scott Fisher Band live at McMenamins. It was the first time hearing them and I was immediately drawn to their sound and presence. There's not a bad song on this album and the lyrics are catchy and heartfelt. Scott Fisher's abilities are inspiring and the mix of talent among them works well together!
