"Multi-instrumentalist Scott Cooper is a veteran of the San Francisco Bay Area music scene. He's best known for playing rhythm guitar in the popular Grateful Dead tribute the China Cats, for which has held the Bobby chair for a decade. But Scott has his hands in other musical endeavors as well. He fronts two versions of his own band: Rosebud, focusing on Dead material and related, and Scott Cooper & the Barrelmakers, showcasing his songwriting. ""Crafting Grateful Dead style originals and playing Dead covers,"" wrote the New Times of San Luis Obispo, ""this band will get your feet moving and your body shaking.""
Scott's solo debut ""A Leg Trick"" (2012) reached #5 on the jam band radio charts, despite no label or publicity support. ""A fantastic songwriter"" said the Good Times (Santa Cruz).
He has since released three more CDs, and another three more singles, tapping into his prolific songwriting.
""These are great songs, added KPIG radio celebrity John Sandidge
