Meet Scott Wilson

Today we’d like to introduce you to Scott Wilson. Them and their team share their story with us below:

“Guilty as Charged” is an 80’s inspired original & cover hard rock band formed in Denver, Colorado 2010.  To play and perform is what we do and we customize our sets to fit each audience. We have around 100 cover songs and over 20 of our own compositions for bars, concerts, festivals, and parties.  As an example, we often perform as support acts for national touring groups. For the “Hurricane” show we performed an all-original set opening for an all-original act. We were also on the bill with “Wheel in the Sky”, a Journey tribute, so we did mainly a cover set for that show. GaC has performed over 200 shows to date, mainly along Colorado’s front range, with exclusives in Wyoming and Nebraska. 

We kindly request that you PLEASE bring us ALL YOUR ENERGY cause YOUR CERTAINLY GONNA GET ALL OF OURS! 

… with “GUILTY as CHARGED” it’s 

“NOTHIN’ BUT A GOOD TIME” 

Brett, Chris, Eric, and Scott 

We all face challenges, but looking back would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
It’s NEVER a “smooth road” in this business, particularly if you are “on the road” which we are not. GaC is considered a local Denver Rock Band. Nonetheless, it’s a circuit running on overload, the needles in the red, there are way too many bands and not enough clubs to support them. The quality of rock bands we have here in Colorado is incredible and the competition is tough so agents and clubs are only gonna book the best! This is a never-ending question for a band but booking has always been a challenge for everybody … 

Can you tell our readers more about what you do and what you think sets you apart from others?
The fact that we’ve been together for twelve years now which creates that continuity that you don’t hear with a lot of newer bands. This is truly “Nothing but a Good Time” as our attitude reflects to the audience so EVERYBODY has a good time! 

We’re always looking for the lessons that can be learned in any situation, including tragic ones like the Covid-19 crisis. Are there any lessons you’ve learned that you can share?
Wow, personally quite a few, but not so many as a musician. “Guilty as Charged” performs between about 30 shows a year and in 2020 we played 4. The number of people that make good money playing in a band at this level (local) are none. If you are a full-time touring/working band I think this industry struggled just like most others … bars and venues were closed, people didn’t go out! IT DID, however, create some great writing opportunities!
