For over 50 years Scott Nickerson has played drums and harmonica live and recorded with many popular bands and musicians within the trop rock genre. His fun personality and talent is something that artists from all around have called upon him to share.

Scott Nickerson – Drummer ~ Percussionist ~ Harmonica Player ~ Founder of Parrot Heads in Paradise, inc. and the first official Parrot Head Club in Atlanta, Georgia on April 1, 1989.

From a very young age Scott Nickerson was attracted to music, inspired by his parents that played classical music near my room at night to help him fall asleep. Scott got his first drum set at the age of 5 and quickly fell in love with playing them.

A few years later, his parents asked him to learn to play piano before they would pay for drum lessons. He was glad that he did. Scott took drum lessons from the age of 8 through the next several years. He played drums and percussion in junior high and high school marching band, and later in jazz ensemble in college.

Scott practiced a lot to his favorite records, and at the age of 15 he was asked to play drums with a popular local band called “Medusa”. They were all juniors in high school but incredible musicians already. They later won the state finals “Battle of the Bands” contest in Georgia doing only original songs.

After beginning his junior year in college, Scott became the drummer in a band called “The Bridge Street Kings” that Scott and a few of his fellow students put together . From that time, Scott managed to play with several successful working bands, the most memorable was “A1A, the Jimmy Buffett Tribute Show”.

They were endorsed by Margaritaville Tequila, Corona beer, and Jimmy Buffett himself. Being the co-founder of “A1A” he was blessed to make it his full-time job for over 12 years.

From then on Scott was asked to record with many talented musicians’ and play live shows over the course of his career in music.

Most folks know Scott Nickerson as the harmonica player and vocalist for “A1A”, but he continued playing drums actively, as he does now.

“I want to thank all of the musicians, and the Trop Rock genre that have provided me with the greatest friends and “family” in the industry”.
