Since then Scott has shared the stage with some of his favorite artists: Carole King, Jimmy Buffett, Livingston Taylor, Tom Rush, Mac McAnally, Peter Mayer and others.

Recently, he and his father have collaborated to release their first album together under the Peter Mayer/Brendan Mayer name — “Long Story Short” — which has received extensive airplay on Sirius/XM Radio. In addition, Brendan has released a new single of his own — “The American”. He is also a member of the band Floating Collective. 

FLOATING COLLECTIVE: 

Bringing together generations and decades of musical experience, Floating Collective was born with members Mick Utley, Brendan Mayer and Erin McAnally at the helm. By making it a collective, the idea is that others can collaborate and come and go like floats in the ocean. All three children of members of the Coral Reefer Band, Floating Collective is a testament to the bond of the creative and familial connections of a band of musicians who have been inextricably linked for decades. 

"On the Run", the first single from the collective embodies a need for escape in a time when so many are wishing they could travel. It strings together various stories from their lives and seamlessly blended harmonies in a Laurel Canyon-inspired sound.
