“He sings his heart and soul, and in doing so, lets light flood into your own.
 Truly one of Woody Guthrie’s children.”

— RnR Magazine

In 2007, Albertan songwriter SCOTT COOK quit his job teaching kindergarten in Taiwan and moved into a minivan. He’s made his living as a troubadour ever since, touring almost continuously across Canada, the US, Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and beyond, averaging 150 shows and a dozen summer festivals a year. He’s released seven albums of plainspoken, keenly observant verse along the way.

His collection Tangle of Souls was 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. The single “Say Can You See” was the second most-played song of 2020 on Folk Alliance International’s folk radio charts, and took top honors for the folk category in both the 2020 UK Songwriting Competition and the 2020 Great American Song Contest. 

An authentic modern troubadour, Cook is known for his warm, plainspoken vocal clarity, engaging storytelling, and a magnetic stage presence that blends wry humor, deep introspection, and soulful roots acoustic performance.
