Scott Biram operates with good and bad ingredients

Story by Wayne Bledsoe

The thing that hits you about a conversation with Scott Biram is just how unlike his image he seems to be. Biram's music is rowdy, gritty and unhinged. He doesn't just sound like a guy on the edge. He sounds like a guy who has gone right on over it.

All I needed would be to rush out the door only to slip and smoosh my camera bag into the soft soil right before hitting the road for another nightlife piece. As I have come to know Knoxville winters to do, the temperatures were rising and the folks were heading indoors for a stiff drink and some live entertainment sustenance.
