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 constantly across Canada, the U.S., Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere, averaging 150 shows and a dozen summer festivals a year, while releasing seven albums of plainspoken, keenly observant verse along the way. His 2020 collection “Tangle of Souls” came packaged in a cloth-bound, 240-page hardcover book of road stories and ruminations, and earned Scott his third Canadian Folk Music Award nomination for English Songwriter of the Year.

Since 2022 Scott has been touring steadily around North America and Australia with his sweetheart Pamela Mae on upright bass, banjo and vocals, while broadcasting solar-powered livestreams from the back of their campervan. This year they're releasing a new album entitled “Troubadourly Yours” along with another hardcover book of liner notes. Fresh from the open road, these are sturdy, straight-talking songs that see the good in you!
