Lois Scott's Biography - So Far…

Long before “country was cool”, Lois Scott has been entertaining audiences across the US and Canada. Between Lois and the band, these “Seasoned” musicians have been performing their special style of country music for over 30 years.
Ramblin' Roy Scott of the Wheeling Jamboree
Lois was born into country music. Her father, the legendary “Ramblin’ Roy Scott” of the world famous country music theater, WWVA Jamboree, in Wheeling, WV, took Lois on stage at the age of 8 years old.

In the 70’s Lois formed her own country band, “Back Up and Push”. This very popular Pittsburgh based band and Lois traveled the country for almost six years. Playing everything from county fairs, honky tonks, to the major arenas and state of the art music theaters.

Lois became very popular working as “opening act” to some of Nashville’s biggest and brightest stars of the 70’s and 80”s. Some of the stars Lois worked with were: The Oak Ridge Boys, Merle Haggard, Ricky Nelson, Loretta Lynn and Tammy Wynette – just the name a few. Lois and “PUSH” recorded 3 single (45 rpm) records, and one album.

Road life took a toll, and Lois came back home to Pittsburgh for a much needed musical break and to “re-invent” herself.

In the mid 80’s, Lois teamed up with her two beautiful sisters, Jan and Lori, to form vocal country group, “HARMONY SCOTT”. The trio was so popular that they landed a TV spot on the Nashville Network television show, “You Can Be A Star”. The girls made it into the “semi-finals”. From that national TV appearance, they caught the eye and ear of WWVA Jamboree musical director, Zane Baxter. Almost immediately Harmony Scott was hired – once again - Harmony Scott at Jamboree in the Hills 1986as “opening act” to the most famous Nashville stars appearing on the Jamboree.

Some of the Nashville greats the girls opened up for were: Kathy Mattea, Eddie Rabbit, Steve Wariner, Dwight Yoakum, Neal McCoy, Roy Clark, Loretta Lynn……and for almost one year, the girls worked along side of a (very young) and now very famous, “BRAD PAISLEY”! He was also a Jamboree “regular”.


The scoreboard at Three Rivers Stadium in Pittsburgh, PALois is very proud of her association with the Pittsburgh Steelers. In the mid 80’s, Lois was hired by the Steelers organization to sing The National Anthem “live” at Three Rivers Stadium. Lois sang the Anthem for the Steelers off and on for over two years.

Country music in Pittsburgh goes in “cycles”. The Knobs - back then... It’s popular for awhile and then it fades away only to be reborn 5 or 6 years later. During the “skinny years”, Lois joined a local classic rock & original band called The Blues Benders“THE KNOBS” in mid 90’s. In the year 2000, Lois started her own blues band called THE BLUES BENDERS and for the next four years played steady with these talented players.

In 2004 Lois started working on her upcoming CD – revamping her country roots. The title of the CD is “YOUNG”, named after a song written by Pittsburgh-Nashville songwriter, Dave Hanner. Dave is also the record producer on Lois’s long awaited country/alternative CD.

When Lois isn’t performing in her Country Band, she is back performing with her favorite classic rock/original band, THE KNOBS. Lois sings backup vocals on The Knobs latest CD, called: “Lonely at the Bottom”.

At 51 years old, there is no slowing Lois down. With the release of her upcoming CD, Lois hopes to “rekindle” her career – once again and continue to work clubs/theaters around PA and beyond.

Whether its singing country or with her rock and roll friends, THE KNOBS, there’s no denying this lady’s love of music and entertaining her audiences.

Here is a cool "Tidbit": Way, Way, Way, back in the early 90's, I worked with a certain young man - he was 17 years old at the time - and even then it was clear he had "IT" - whatever that special "IT" is. We worked together at the Jamboree in Wheeling, WVA for almost two years together. His first name is BRAD - come on now, think. He's is now one of the biggest stars in Nashville and beyond. Talking about BRAD PAISLEY. I am so very glad - Brad got the right breaks to show the world the talent I saw in him way back when. Way to go BRAD!

Best "pickup" line I was ever given:
It came from Nashville's Super Talent, VINCE GILL. This was right before "Pocket Full of Gold" went GOLD, Vince was performing at a small club in Pittsburgh, PA.(Graffitti) The year escapes me now, maybe l990/91. I had front row seats. He kept starring at me and finally over the microphone Vince says to me, "You are so pretty, you remind me of one of the SOLID GOLD DANCERS" (now you have to be old like me to remember that TV Show), then he added, " Her name was Darcell, member her, you are JUST THAT PRETTY-GIRL". Vince is a beautiful thing!!!!
