Founding member Anthony Scott is a popular English professor at the local university, a minister, a published poet, and an accomplished musician and singer-songwriter.  One night while he was preparing for an upcoming performance, his friend and musical sidekick Chris Morton mentioned a rehearsal for a Motown band the following evening.  “That sounds fun,” Anthony commented.  “Mind if I show up?”  Chris replied that the band would be happy to have him.  

The following evening, Anthony turned up for the Star City Syndicate’s second-ever rehearsal and was surprised to discover that he was the new lead singer.  His powerful and soaring lead vocals have been a mainstay ever since, and his quiet harmonies give a polished sheen to many Motown standards.
