That’s what the “EARL & THE AGITATORS ALL STAR BAND featuring Scott Holt” is all about. A
collective of veteran musicians (all named Earl by the way) from assorted Rock & Blues bands who
joined together in 2015 to create some great music and have waaay too much fun!
Scott Holt began his professional musical journey at 19 when he met and was mentored by his friend
BUDDY GUY and he spent the next 10 years playing guitar for the Grammy winning legend. Scott’s
tenure with Buddy Guy established him as an incredible guitarist, a rich, soulful singer, performer and
storyteller in his own right. And any time Buddy and Scott are in the same area, Buddy always invites
his friend up to play and it is something to see!
Then in 2015, at Dark Horse Institute in Franklin, Tennessee, Scott (Earl #1) had the chance to write
and record with his good friends Roger Earl (Earl #4), and Bryan Bassett (Earl #2), of the legendary
rock band FOGHAT! They threw Foghat bassist Rodney O’Quinn (Earl #3) into the fray and gave
birth to the “EARL & THE AGITATORS ALL STAR BAND featuring Scott Holt”.
EATA released a four song EP in 2016 and made their debut on the Rock Legends IV Cruise in
January 24, 2016 where they were joined by veteran New Lords guitarist Tony Bullard (Earl #5)
formerly of the JIMMY VAN ZANDT & BLACK OAK ARKANSAS and the guys been burning up
stages and ringing ears together ever since! Their live show is an incredible musical smorgasboard
of incredible talent and just plain fun!
A unique highlight of EATA is the array of “special guest” performers (“Earl’s”) who rotate in and out,
lending their talents to this all-star band. You never know who might show up to tear up the stage with
Scott, but these guys know what it takes to make an audience get up and boogie!

Earl & The Agitators Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Rises and falls like the Sun
One day, Simba
The Sun will set on my time here
And will rise with you as the new king
Simba
I'm here, mother, I'm home
[?]
These lyrics are actually from the song "He Lives in You" featured in the Lion King II soundtrack. The lines are spoken by Mufasa to Simba as he reflects on his legacy and how it will one day be passed on to his son. The king's time as ruler is likened to the rise and fall of the sun, emphasizing how fleeting power and life can be. Mufasa understands that he will not live forever and acknowledges that his time will come to an end, but he takes comfort in the fact that Simba will carry on his legacy as the new king.
The last line, "I'm here, mother, I'm home" is also significant as it shows Simba's acknowledgement of his place in the circle of life. He recognizes not only his father's legacy but also his connection to his mother and his own upbringing. This line also conveys a sense of comfort and belonging, as if Simba has finally found his place in the world.
Line by Line Meaning
The king's time as ruler
The period of time during which a king reigns as ruler
Rises and falls like the Sun
The duration of the king's reign varies, like the daily cycle of the rising and setting Sun
One day, Simba
At some point in the future, Simba, you will inherit the throne
The Sun will set on my time here
The time of my reign will come to an end, just like the Sun setting each day
And will rise with you as the new king
You will take your place as the new king, and your reign will begin as the Sun rises each day
Simba
Addressing the future king by name
I'm here, mother, I'm home
Returning to my rightful place as ruler and declaring my presence to my people
