Scott Sudbury | Almost Famous
In this packed episode of The Rhythm Section Podcast, hosts Derrick and Jeff kick things off by recapping their Friday night hang at Nashoba’s, where they caught a killer set from their friends in Land/Divided. Derrick also gives a big shout-out to Matt and Jennifer at Supernova Music for coming through in the clutch with some much-needed gear support.
The featured interview spotlights Scott Sudbury—lead guitarist, vocalist, and driving force behind Almost Famous, Famous, Lost 45s, Six Feet Thunder, and The Scott Sudbury Band. Scott walks the guys through the origins of Almost Famous, shares what the Memphis music scene was like “back in the day,” and tells the story of how he first fell in love with music.
From playing in a teenage trio of brothers to performing his first show at an Amro Jam, opening for Tora Tora, and gigging at the iconic Stage Stop under the influence of the legendary Nita Makris, Scott’s journey is packed with history. He also reveals how he began performing with Jimi Jamison, what led him back to writing original music in 2025, how he recorded and produced his debut album Static On My Radio, and how the era of Napster changed the course of his solo career.
