Scotty Lee Rexroat aka "Treble Hook" has been called one of Florida's most prolific songwriters by resident host D.J. Pete Gallagher of the Florida FOLK SHOW on WMNF 88.5 fm community radio. He is charged with a dedication to the preservation of the Sunshine States fishing heritage and natural environment. If you've heard music described as Americana, then it would be right to say he's struck a chord with a brand called Floricana. With song titles like "Shark Fishing At The Skyway Bridge" about the florida folklore tale of the giant hammerhead shark called "Old Hitler"; and "She's A Weeki Wachee Mermaid" about the little river in Hernando county the Seminole Indians named; Scotty Lee will take you on melodic journey into the soul of the great land we all love and the spanish explorer Juan Ponce de Leon gold coined Florida; "Feast of Flowers".
Scotty Lee and The Treble Hooks had the number 2 song "Sweet Little Cracker Girl" in 2010 and the number 3 song "Saltwater Cowboy" in 2009 on www.MusicTampaBay.com 's Big Bay Top 100 songs of the year. DJ Rick Crandall hosts the internet radio and features only artists from the Tampa Bay area.
His song "The Last Florida Waltz", written to bring attention to Florida's waning water supply and destruction of natural habitat, placed 10 in 2008 in Will McLean's Best New Florida Song Contest.  
His Music has been described as "Florida Soulshine" by a lady from Longview Texas who stumbled upon his music streaming over the internet. The sound has a blanche of Blues, a flash of Florida Folk, and is lightly seasoned with Americana, or better yet "Floricana" for those who have moved to the Sunshine State and seceded from the rest of the Union. At times it can be slow and easy like the sonata of a spring fed river, or come on strong like a summer thunder storm colliding along the Gulf of Mexico. It stirs your senses like orange blossoms, tupelo honey,  sunrise and sunsets along the shore; summer breezes, and mockingbirds singing in the groves.  With just the right splash of brine and a pound of smoked fish cast in, it comes out sounding like Florida Soul-Shine. 

"Whether performing solo or with his band The Treble Hooks, with song titles like "Shark Fishing At The Skyway Bridge" about the florida folklore tale of the giant hammerhead shark called "Old Hitler"; and "She's a Fine Ketch" about the little river the Seminole Indians called "Weeki Wachee"; Scotty Lee will take you on melodic journey into the soul of the great land we all love!"

In the song "Shark Fish-in' at The Skyway Bridge, Treble Hook sings about "Old Hitler".   A Florida Central Gulf Coast famed Hammerhead Shark who eats Tarpon off of sport fishermen's lines. He's been hooked, but never landed. He's always bigger than your boat and wider than a pick-up truck. Supposedly someone long ago carved a swastika on his dorsal fin as he was brought close to the boat before shaking the hook. He has been known to frequent the waters around the Skyway Bridge, south to Boca Grand pass, and North to Cedar Key. Stories of those who have tried to catch him with 3 hooks using a large Tarpon for bait, say he bites between the hooks. A man by the name of "Santiago", who used to roll cigars back in the day in Ybor City, used to fish for him around Tampa Bay. He returned to Cuba to bring his family to Florida and during his journey met "Ernest Hemingway" and they became great friends. They went Marlin Fishing in Ernest's famed boat the "Pilar". When He wrote the novel "Old Man and The Sea", he used Santiago as the main character in the story. So in the song "Shark Fishing at The Skyway Bridge", he is the main character who is pulled from the bridge after hooking the famed Shark "Old Hitler", fishing buddies throw a tractor tire innertube to him, he climbs in, and it pulls him away. He was last seen being pulled out past Egmont Key, and no one knows what happened to him afterwards. Some rumors reported he was last seen in hanging around Cedar Key sipping rum, others say the Shark pulled him north all the way up the Mississippi River, but mostly he's just another character in someone elses story.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RK2sh4zQBo&feature=share&list=PL4A228796225AB931

My Pony Is Strong

The music would be considered Florida Folk with traditional and contemporary interpretation.   I play mostly a resonator slide guitar in an open tuning.  The majority of my style was transcribed  through audio recordings and attendance of performances by other artists who have exhibited the traditional delta blues style.  Florida is unique in the aspect of music because I consider it a melting pot of all music from around the country and infuse the elements with the same intent as the creators. Because of my experience growing up on the Gulf Coast of Florida I am able to take elements of our fishing heritage and geography and weave them into a tapestry of music to capture the hearts of residents and interest of those wanting to find out more about the experience.   Song titles like "Shark Fishing At The Skyway Bridge" about the Florida folklore tale of the giant hammerhead shark they call "Old Hitler" and "She's A Weeki Wachee Mermaid" about the little river the Seminole Indians named in Hernando county spawn immediate interest because they are well known landmarks in Florida.
