Next Show!- Scott Cook

​

Scott Cook sings sturdy, straight-talking songs that see the good in you. Born in West Virginia and raised on the Canadian prairies (Edmonton, Alberta), in 2007 he quit his job teaching kindergarten in Taiwan to move into a minivan and embark on the life of a full-time troubadour. Since then he's toured almost incessantly across Canada, the US, Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere, averaging over 150 shows and a dozen summer festivals a year, and releasing eight albums of plainspoken, keenly observant verse along the way.

​

His seventh album, Tangle of Souls, comes packaged in a cloth-bound, 240-page hardcover book of road stories and ruminations. The album spent two weeks at #1 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. His latest album, Troubadourly Yours, comes in a hard-backed 72-page book of notes, lyrics, essays and stories; this truly is a brilliant sign-off of the times. Six years in the making, it is deeply autobiographical and resonates musically and thematically with the spirit of Woody Guthrie.
