History/Biography
A regular on the Nashville music scene, Toluenes vocalist & songwriter Jamon Scott has hammered out his distinctive brand of southwestern country rock on stages from Asbury Park, N.J. to Los Angeles, CA including the legendary Rainbow Room on Hollywood's Sunset Strip. With comparisons to John Mellencamp, Jimmy Buffet and Robert Earl Keen, Jamon has garnered Best Male Vocals and Best Lyrics awards on Garageband.com while The Toluenes held the #1 artist position in their genre for 6 straight months on Audiostreet.net.
Guitarist Dan Allen Crawley, a prolific songwriter in his own right, moved to Nashville right out of high school and honed his craft in such clubs as the famed Bluebird Cafe, eventually signing his first publishing deal. Later, he relocated to Lexington, KY, where he spent the late '90's and early 2000's "paying his dues" on the local music scene before hooking up with Jamon in 2003 and forming The Toluenes.
"…a great sound with a wickedly cool sense of humor", "…burns like cheap tequila chased by a long-turned lime" and "…rockin' bar (band) - makes me want to down a longneck and boogie…" are just a few of the words reviewers have used to describe The Toluenes on their debut c.d. "Four Chords & A Pack of Lies". The disc was recorded in Nashville and co-produced by Jim Allison, who wrote such hits as Reba McEntire's "What Am I Gonna Do About You" and LeAnn Rimes' "Fade To Blue".
The Toluenes also made their small screen debut in the 2007 Indie Gathering winner for best t.v. pilot, "Bottle Rockets". The pilot was co-written by and co-stars Jamon and features several solo performances by both Jamon and Dan.
