About Scott Tuma

Scott Tuma is a musician from Chicago, Illinois, United States who is best known for having played guitar in the pioneering alt-country band Souled American. Since his departure from Souled American in the late 1990s Tuma has released three solo albums, performed and recorded with Chicago's Boxhead Ensemble, and collaborated with members of the band Zelienople in a project dubbed Good Stuff House. Tuma's unique guitar work is one of the primary features responsible for Souled American's highly distinct sound, though the band has continued playing without him seeming relatively unfazed by Tuma's departure. His solo work is more in line with ambient music than folk or country, though elements of those and other styles are still present. Hard Again and The River 1 2 3 4 are expansive, gorgeous albums that feature Tuma playing most of the instruments himself - primarily guitar, harmonium, and organ (though he also plays bass, harmonica, and banjo) - though Hard Again, released on Atavistic Records in 2001, also includes guest spots from members of Dirty Three, Rachel's, and Boxhead Ensemble. http://www.myspace.com/scotttuma
