Scott Saulson (of Stagefright)

Bass Player and Singer of Stagefright – Founded in 1993 in San Francisco, California, Stagefright is an alternative rock/crossover band that combines the gothic and alt rock influences of its vocalists Sumiko and Carolyn Saulson with the reggae influences of drummer Don Geron and former bassist Prudah Walkman. Started as a family band with Scott Saulson on bass, Mangladata on Spanish Guitar, and Gunther Palmer on Drums and mother/daughter team Carolyn and Sumiko on vocals, the band has gone through a number of line ups since then, the longest running including experienced reggae and gospel bassist Prudah Walkman and Don Geron. Although Prudah has since relocated to Southern California, leaving the band, his influence remains. Stagefright has played the Whiskey A-Go-Go, The California Blues Festival, Juneteenth San Francisco, Soupstock, Dome Village, Boomerang, and Mama Pajamas.
