Scott Brown

Scott Brown began square dancing in 1983 at age 16 and calling in 1985 at age 18. He called his first National Square Dance Convention in 1986 in Indianapolis, IN.

Scott is the founder and first president of PACCA (The Progressive American Callers and Cuers Alliance).

In 1997, he founded Gold Rush Records and began producing square dance music for callers worldwide. Today, he and his son Shawn produce the music together. In 2007, with the help of Bud Merrihew, Gold Rush developed the EZ – Cue round dance format which uses a multimedia karaoke format to display cues on screen in sync with the music. All Square and Round Dance music from Gold Rush Records includes this format.

In 2015, Scott wrote a book called “Square Dancing in the 21st Century: A Definitive Guide to Modern Pattern Dancing”. This book was written as a guide for the accelerated teaching of the CALLERLAB Mainstream Program using innovative techniques never before considered for use in square dancing.

Scott works regularly as a square dance caller traveling locally, regionally and nationally. He has called in over 30 states throughout his career and calls SSD through A2. He also specializes in Progressive Squares and Hexagon. At home, Scott is a club caller for Gold Rush Outlaws, Dip N’ Dive and Liberty Dancers, along with Ohio Valley Promenaders in Bellaire, OH founded by Ron Anderson. He continues to work for the promotion and preservation of square dancing throughout the United States.
