Scott Mulvahill is establishing his distinct style in the overlapping genres of jazz, folk, Americana, and experimental music. Growing up in Houston, Mulvahill gained experience playing in Ricky Skaggs' well-known band, Kentucky Thunder. The upright bass of Mulvahill provided the group's bottom-heavy pulse as they embarked on a five-year international tour. Along the way, he also wrote his own music, shedding light on the genre-bending influences that would later inform the songs on his solo debut, Himalayas, including Jaco Pastorius' avant-garde jazz, James Taylor's folk, and Paul Simon's sophisticated pop. The foundation for Mulvahill's transformation from a dominant sideman to an engaging frontman was built by his performances in Skaggs' nightly gigs.
He has collaborated with notable musicians like Cory Wong, Cody Fry, Lauren Daigle, Keb Mo, Oliver Hazard, Ben Rector, H.E.R., and many more after going solo. He has also played hundreds of gigs and made appearances on NPR's Tiny Desk and Mountain Stage.
With the help of musical instructor Bruce Hornsby, Mulvahill honed a distinctive style of songwriting that combined his skill as an upright bassist with catchy melodies and gripping lyrics. Mulvahill, a genuine "musician's musician," uses intricate finger work and avant-garde progressions throughout his solo debut. However, Himalayas is a song-driven album that emphasizes the listenability of Mulvahill's compositions more than his skill..
