Jason Scott and The High Heat

Caught halfway between amplified Americana and heartland roots-rock, Jason Scott & the High Heat create a sweeping, dynamic sound that reaches far beyond the traditions of their Oklahoma City home. Too loud for folk music and too textured for Red Dirt, this is the sound of a genuine band rooted in groove, grit, and its own singular spirit, led by a songwriter whose unique past -- a Pentecostal upbringing, years logged as a preacher-in-training, and an eventual crisis of faith -- has instilled both a storyteller's delivery and an unique perspective about life, love, and listlessness in the modern world.
