Scott McQuade
I am about to enter my 18th year as a professional musician. Originally from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, I have lived in Florida for the past eleven years, two of which were in Cape Canaveral while working on a cruise ship. I have recently relocated to the midwest now based in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
I have had the opportunity to perform alongside such world-renowned jazz artists as Scotty Barnhart, Louis Bellson, Randy Brecker, Cleveland Eaton, Wycliffe Gordon, Victor Goines, Jason Marsalis, and Clark Terry. I have also performed with faculty and students from Florida State University, Florida A & M University, and the University of North Florida.
