Scott Joss (born 1962) is a songwriter, guitarist, mandolin player, singer, and fiddle player primarily in the American Country music tradition.[1] He has performed with Merle Haggard, Dwight Yoakam, Kris Kristofferson,[2] Pete Anderson, Tiny Moore, Roy Nichols, Dusty Wakeman, Chris Gantry, Jana Jae,[1] and as a successful solo artist.[3][4][5]
Born in Santa Monica, California in 1962 and raised in Redding, California, Joss learned to play fiddle from Jana Jae, the one-time wife and fiddle player for Buck Owens and his Buckaroos. Praised as "the heir to the Bakersfield throne" because of his early association with Bakersfield Sound musicians,[6] Joss' playing has been key to hit tunes scored by Merle Haggard & The Strangers and Dwight Yoakam.[4] Scott Joss was inducted into the National Fiddler Hall of Fame in 2020.[2]
