About Scotty Crabtree

​Born and raised in the heart of Bakersfield, California, Scotty Crabtree is a country music artist whose sound and passion are deeply rooted in the rich tradition of the Bakersfield Sound. Inspired by legends like Buck Owens and Merle Haggard, Scotty's journey into country music began while watching unforgettable performances at the iconic Crystal Palace.

Scotty was honored to be mentored by Buck Owens and Kim McAbee, whose encouragement and example helped shape his musical path. Seeing them perform on stage sparked a dream that would eventually lead Scotty to pursue country music himself. Along the way, he has also had the privilege of meeting and learning from talented artists including Ty Herndon, Rudy Paris, Monty Byrom, Jim Ranger, and many others.

One of Scotty's favorite memories is performing with the house band at the Crystal Palace, an opportunity he remains incredibly grateful for. In 2016, he formed his own band, performing throughout Bakersfield and sharing his love of traditional country music with audiences across the community.

Today, while music continues to be an important part of his life, Scotty's greatest passion is his faith in God. He is an active member of New Life Church in Bakersfield, where his faith guides both his personal life and his purpose.

Beyond music, Scotty is a dedicated advocate for people with disabilities and proudly supports Canine Companions, an organization that provides expertly trained service dogs to people with disabilities at no cost. He believes in using his voice not only to entertain but also to encourage, inspire, and make a positive difference in the lives of others.

Whether he's sharing a classic country song, serving his community, or supporting causes close to his heart, Scotty remains committed to the values that define him: faith, family, compassion, and the timeless spirit of country music.
