"Scott Fisher:
Fisher is a 27-year-oldsinger-songwriter-pianist who got his start with the jazz-rock jam band Soular. Now he's solo, playing concise troubadour piano pop that's a combination of Ben Folds, Dave Matthews and a little bit of Thelonious Monk."

"There are some stunning new talents emerging out of Portland these days - acts to definitely watch for and catch if you can. There are moments of `70s-style funk in the "Shaft" theme vein, dizzyingly snaky jazz-rock fusion runs using horns and a thick, fat Fender Rhodes piano, an occassional twist of post-90's electronica or times when it seems you're listening to a previously unreleased Elton John tune from 30 years ago.

Their following developed mostly from B.U., Tufts, MIT and Boston College.
