Born in West Virginia and raised on the Canadian prairies, Scott Cook quit a job teaching kindergarten in Taiwan in 2007 to embark on the life of a full-time troubadour. Since then he's toured steadily across Canada, the US, Europe, Asia, Australia, Aotearoa and elsewhere, living out of backpacks and campervans, averaging over a hundred shows and a dozen summer festivals a year, and distilling his experiences into empathetic, keenly observant verse. Scott's 2020 album Troubadourly Yours spent two weeks at #1 back home on Alberta's province-wide community radio network CKUA, and earned Scott his third Canadian Folk Music Award nomination, for English Songwriter of the Year. Its second single "Say Can You See" was the second most-played song of 2020 on Folk Alliance International's folk radio charts, and took top honours for the folk category in both the 2020 UK Songwriting Competition and the 2020 Great American Song Contest. SInce 2022 he's been joined by his sweetheart Pamela Mae on upright bass and harmonies, touring through 45 US states, 8 Canadian provinces, and a good chunk of Australia. On his third visit to Aotearoa, he brings his eighth album Troubadourly Yours, enclosed in a hardcover book of liner notes that is equal parts memoir and manifesto. Fresh from the open road, these are sturdy, straight-talking songs that see the good in you.
"He sings his heart and soul, and in doing so lets light flood into your own... He has a good eye for imagery, a gentle human touch, a wry sense of humour, a whole lot of integrity, a warm, rugged voice and a bunch of memorable lines... Truly one of Woody Guthrie's children." –RnR Magazine
“These are whip-smart, bone-achingly lovely, socially committed songs presented with a bold, elegant directness evoking the very best of the folk music tradition. Last night's performance in Notional Space was a thing of rare beauty.” —Mark Jacobs, presenter, Notional Space
