For some, growing up anchored in an isolated Midwestern town might result in cultural stagnation. For Scott Cramer, however, this environment acted more as an impetus, serving to cultivate an intense curiosity and insatiable ambition for developing Chicago’s new music and entertainment industry. Starting at The Abbey Pub as an intern, he stomped the urban miles, hanging concert posters in whatever indie music store would have them, stamping hands at venues, and answering phones. Today, having delegated these glorified grunt responsibilities, Scott is the publicist and assistant to the talent buyer for The Abbey, publicist and talent buyer for Berlin Nightclub, A producer of the 501c3 not for profit Decibelle Festival, Community Director for Do312; as well as hosts and organizes many one off indie GLBTQA events around Chicago. Having honed his ear and eye while scouting talent, Cramer went on to create in part, Flawless (previously Sundays at IV), hosting DJ’s such as Sharam Jey, Lady Kier, and Derrick Carter. Continuing to expand his vision, he formed a partnership and gave birth to Outdanced (previously Tuesdays at Funky Buddha) where artists such as Peaches, JD Samson of Le Tigre, Leslie and the Lys, Larry Tee, Margaret Cho, and Sophia Lamar resuscitated Chicago’s Tuesday night dance scene. Currently, Outdanced lives on to present many events throughout Chicago. Today Cramer still works regularly with the Abbey, and now holds Stardust weekly, Thursdays at Berlin. Stardust is the benefactor to a new charity each month if not multiple times a month, raising money and goods for groups such as, Threat Level, Toys for Tots, Lakeview Pantry, Critical Fierceness Grant, Dyke March, Version, Join the Impact Chicago, the Halsted Center, Howard Brown, Reeling Film Fest, Chirp, to name a few. His events have been featured in numerous publications and on the web, steadily conquering the city’s hippest venues, one night at a time.
