Artist History Scott Merrick is a technology teacher for K-4 grades at an independent K-12 school in Nashville, Tennessee. He spent the years 1975-1981 in Alaska, where he performed in clubs in Anchorage as a single act and as half of the duo Scott and Scott and later the duo Summersong. He performed for a year as singer-songwriter-mandolin-guitar-player in the highly successful Last Frontier Band. Later, in Los Gatos, California he performed with Alaskan Summer then spent a year on cruise ships in the Caribbean performing for passengers aboard Royal Caribbean Cruise Line's ships. After a brief acting side track (see the now available on video Living Proof) he left show business to work as a bartender for TGIFriday's, first in Nashville then in Aventura, Florida. He managed the Tennis Club Restaurant at the North Miami Beach residential property William's Island for several years, then moved back to Nashville, where he managed the Slice of Life bakery and restaurant, where he hosted such acts as Victor Wooten and Bela Fleck and the Flecktones. During his early stay in Nashville he recorded The Elf Who's King of Country for Plantation Records, which was featured in Billboard Magazine's list of holiday releases then disappeared into oblivion. In 1990 he returned to school for his degree in teaching, graduating with honors from Vanderbilt University in 1996. He's been teaching ever since. The flip side of his official school identification tag reads "Head Geek 4 Little Kids."
