Scaramoose are a hard working, serious trio of fun filled lads with an amazingly fresh sound. The band was formed in 2007 and was born from the meeting of John Gardner, Clive Wade and John Eschbaecher. The three members soon found common ground in a mixture of exciting styles including acoustic, blues, funk and world, seeking particular influence from the likes of Ben Harper, G. Love, The John Butler Trio, Xavier Rudd and Jack Johnson. With a mixture of covers and their refreshing original material, the band is currently spreading their new trio sound in popular venues across the country.
Past highlights for Scaramoose have included: Prize winners at the Gardening Club battle of the bands, Covent Garden, London. Support for Angus and Julia Stone plus return support for Carus and The True Believers. Main stage performance at the Maker Sunshine Festival and headline performance at the Great Hall, Dartington. Scaramoose continue to self organize and promote tours, spreading their infectious sounds and body moving grooves over the UK.
This constant hard graft has been recognized with interviews and air play by the likes of BBC Radio Devon, South Hams Radio and BBC Radio Bristol.
Scaramoose have also become recognizable for their soulful and melodic melodies, having become 'artist and MP3 of the week' on Lemonrock - www.lemonrock.co.uk and also 'album of the month' on Sound Surf - www.soundsurf.co.uk
