Fans know him as Luke Danes from Gilmore Girls, but Scott Patterson is also an accomplished self-taught guitarist and has been writing songs and performing since he was nine years old when he started his first band, “The Unknowns”.

In 2016, Scott and his band performed at flood relief benefit concerts in Summersville, WV and Ocean City, NJ. Scott and his band performed on Rachel Ray’s SXSW stage in Austin, TX in March of 2017. In the summer of that same year, Scott performed on his tour of 27 sold out acoustic shows on the west and east coasts. In July of 2019, Scott performed with his band in LA at amFAR’s “LifeRide 10 Celebration” to benefit AID/HIV research.

Prior to the 2017 EP “Revolution” and the latest singles “Surrender”, “I Want to Kiss You More”, and “Cellphone”, Scott’s band also released two singles, “Haha Song” and “Forgotten Hero”. Both singles debuted at #1 on the iTunes Indie Top 100 chart, with “Haha Song” occupying the spot for several weeks.
Packed with new songs and accompanied by a new band, Scott is now hitting the road with his 2026 Spring Tour.
