Ernie Scarbrough was born in Detroit and first began playing music at the age of 3.  His first instrument was the piano, then drums, then guitar.  Ernie started playing bass in the high school jazz band, just to find something else to do.  He found his “inner groove” and has since spent most of his professional life as a bass player.

Currently living and teaching in Los Angeles, Ernie has had the pleasure of playing a wide variety of venues all over the country, including Cozy’s in L.A., the Mississippi Valley Blues Festival and the Heritage Music Blues Fest, sharing the stage with the likes of Rich DelGrosso, Gary Allegretto, Pinetop Perkins, and Bob Margolin.
