When you’ve spent years backing up the late great Sharon Jones, Lou Donaldson, Lee Fields and more, the word “master” seems fitting. There’s no exception when it comes to Adam Scone, a wizard of the Hammond Organ and founder of Scone Cash Players. With a world of experience under his belt, Scone reunited with his fellow Dap-Kings this last year for two big recordings, the Scone Cash Players soul-soaked debut LP Blast Furnace, and the Holiday-themed 45 Scone Cold Christmas.
Both records raise the bar high for Scone and his band, who’ve been comfortably expanding their touring obligations from national to international audiences. The future is bright for Scone Cash Players, so deck the halls Daptone style with the first single off Scone Cold Christmas featuring Brooklyn vocalist Lee Taylor, “My First Divorced Christmas (Santa Claus Got a Divorce)”!
