Skott-Myhre plays at Atlanta’s pigment-monikered trio: The Painted Pin, The Painted Duck, and The Painted Pickle. Fronting the Sweet and Salty Blues Band, her earthy voice scoops you up with covers of songs by Etta James, Bonnie Raitt and the more obscure Gaye Adegbalola, along with a variety of funk, soul, and blues-based classic rock. Her originals are also worth a listen and draw on the rich variety of inspiration that inform her other work, all while staying close to the spirit of the blues.
