Keith Scott, celebrated blues musician, has been at his craft for the last 30 years.

Originally from White Plains, NY, he went to college in Gainesville, FL, where he met Muddy Waters and Bo Diddley. With the inspiration of his music heroes, he moved to Chicago to pursue his musical journey. While hanging on the scene at the Checkerboard Lounge and Teresa's, Keith met and jammed with blues legends such as Buddy Guy, Junior Wells, James Cotton and Little Milton. It wasn't long before he began touring with the Jimmy Dawkins blues band, performing throughout much of the world. In Chicago, Robert Plant attended one of the shows, completing his musical dreams!! Keith currently tours, records and performs his own brand of blues-inspired music at clubs including House of Blues, Hard Rock Cafe and in festivals throughout the US and Canada.

Our feature act will be preceded by what is arguably Victoria’s best weekly acoustic Open Stage session where musicians from fledglings to professionals can perform a 10 minute set for one of the most welcoming, attentive and participative audiences in town. Aspiring Open Stage performers can sign-up with the VFMS Host between 7:00 and 7:30pm to do a set but should get there early to improve their chances of getting on the evening’s line-up.
