Scott Mulvahill

Frontman. Singer-songwriter. World-renowned upright bassist. Multi instrumentalist. Inventor. Scott Mulvahill is leaving his unique mark on the
intersecting worlds of Americana, folk, jazz, and experimental music. Raised in Houston, Mulvahill cut his teeth as a member of Ricky Skaggs’ acclaimed band, Kentucky Thunder. The group toured internationally for five years, backed by the bottom-heavy pulse of Mulvahill’s upright bass. Along the way, he also composed music of his own, shining a light on the genre-jumping influences — Paul Simon’s sophisticated pop, James Taylor’s folk, Jaco Pastorius’ innovative jazz, and more — that would eventually inspire the material on his 2018 solo debut, Himalayas.
His performances as part of Skaggs’ nightly shows laid the brickwork for Mulvahill’s transition from hotshot sideman to compelling frontman. Since taking the solo leap, he’s performed hundreds of concerts, appeared on NPR’s Tiny Desk and Mountain Stage, and collaborated with luminary artists such as Cory Wong, Cody Fry, Lauren Daigle, Keb Mo, Oliver Hazard, Ben Rector, and many more.
