Vocalist Scot Albertson – born and raised in Norwalk, CT.
Music has been a constant in his life since early childhood. A choir member of the Little Singers of Norwalk (based in St. Mary's Church), Scot traveled, sang and competed internationally with the Choir for six years. Alternate paths were explored after graduating college, Scot served as a Police Officer for the City Of Norwalk, CT for six years segueing to a position as a United States Border Patrol Agent in Arizona for a year. Withdrawing from Law Enforcement, Scot returned to Connecticut to start a very successful small business which sustained for nineteen years.
In the year 2000, with no specific direction other than personal enjoyment, vocal lessons were undertaken with Vocal Coach Richard Lissemore in New York City. After four and one half years of intensive study, Scot's Debut CD (Got A Date With Fate) was recorded with world renowned Bassist Mark Egan, Drummer Danny Gottlieb and Producer, Composer and Pianist Jon Werking. The Debut CD was publicly released on June 17, 2005 at Danny's Skylight Cabaret Room in New York City at Scot's Debut as a career performer.

Another album from Scot Albertson is "Fate Revealed By Design” and it is a wonderful collection of serene and pleasant Jazz songs that pivot around Albertson’s wonderfully crooning vocals. "A Man Alone" is a song in which we hear the heartfelt story of a lonely man in which Albertson is accompanied solely by a sweet and charming piano. "You Gotta Taste All the Fruit" is a toe-tapping song in which Albertson sings in almost a Broadway style over playful brass highlights. "It All Depends On You" is a calm, yet upbeat song in which brass, piano, and drums combine for a smooth and silky classic jazz piece. This album is perfect for those who enjoy talented crooners and the art of jazz music. Pick up a copy of "Fate Revealed By Design" today especially if you like refreshing Jazz music featuring strong male vocals.

Scot Albertson’s latest CD, “With Every Note, A Step…,” finds the crooner hitting his stride with a smart and well-conceived collection of tunes that blend influences ranging from lounge to theater. Opening his 15–song album with a fine medley incorporating Hammerstein and Kern’s “The Song Is You” with “As Long As I’m Singing,” while closing with an invigorating, jazz-informed performance of Dan Fogelberg’s “Part of the Plan,” Albertson oozes confidence and the delight of performing. With a jazzman’s knack for the gentle art of swing, covers of Spike Jones’ hit, “Pass the Biscuits, Mirandy,” Frank Loesser’s “I Hear Music,” and Eubie Blake’s “Memories Of You,” sound as joyous - and relevant, as they were decades ago. For fans of the great American songbook, and the type of singing that’s meant to stir the soul, Scot Albertson’s “With Every Note, A Step…” CD continues a musical journey that’s part easy listening and part jazz, but completely terrific.
