Scott Gorham

Scott Gorham, born on March seventeenth, nineteen fifty-one, is an acclaimed American guitarist and songwriter, best known for his role as one of the twin lead guitarists in the iconic Irish rock band Thin Lizzy. Although he did not join the band at its inception, Gorham's entry in nineteen seventy-four came at a pivotal moment when the band's future was uncertain, following the exits of original guitarist Eric Bell and his temporary successor, Gary Moore.

Gorham's tenure with Thin Lizzy lasted until the band's breakup in nineteen eighty-three, during which he, alongside fellow guitarist Brian Robertson, helped to define the band's signature twin lead guitar style. Their collaboration not only contributed to the band's most critically acclaimed period but also included dual backing vocals, solidifying their place in rock history. Gorham is recognized as the member with the longest continuous service after the founding members, drummer Brian Downey and frontman Phil Lynott.

Since nineteen ninety-six, Scott Gorham has continued to perform with Thin Lizzy, adapting to various lineups following the tragic passing of Phil Lynott in nineteen eighty-six. In two thousand twelve, he co-founded the spin-off band Black Star Riders to introduce new material to fans. However, in two thousand twenty-one, Gorham made the decision to leave Black Star Riders to focus on his enduring commitment to Thin Lizzy.
