Scarecrow Boat Logo

Scarecrow Boat is the name of a band led by Andy Dwyer, which performed in the episode Rock Show. They have a long list of previous names and can't quite settle on one. The inspiration for one of their songs titled, "Ann", was Andy's former girlfriend Ann Perkins. They are the winner of WKKR's Pawnee Battle of the Bands 2008.

The band was named after an actual garage band from Adrian, Michigan, active from 1991 to 1995, winner of the 1993 Adrian High School Battle of the Bands. Parks and Recreation co-creator Michael Schur met the original Scarecrow Boat bassist, Eric Bennett, through the Harvard Lampoon and wrote in 1997 a mock album review of a Scarecrow Boat album for that humor magazine. Years later Schur made use of the name for the show without permission. In addition to Bennett, the original Scarecrow Boat members were Matthew Shultz (vocals), Jason Tuttle (guitar), and David Stukey (drums). Previous names included Where's Alex?, Odd Pieces of Stone, and Johnny Lickspittle and the Obsequious Sycophants.
