Always happy for an excuse to hang out in Tulsa town! We'll be fresh from Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, and our night off happens to be Writers Night at the Colony hosted by Cody Clinton. Sign up starts at 8, music starts at 9, and we're on third or fourth, 9:30 or 9:45ish, for a half-hour set. Come say howdy if you can make it!Scott Cook and Pamela Mae - www.scottcook.net
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 incessantly across Canada, the US, Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere, averaging 150 shows and a dozen summer festivals a year, and releasing seven albums of plainspoken, keenly observant verse along the way. His latest collection 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. 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 early 2022 he's been touring steadily around North America with his sweetheart Pamela Mae on upright bass, banjo and vocals, visiting 43 states and 8 provinces while broadcasting solar-powered livestreams from the back of their campervan Roadetta. This year they've already completed a three-month tour of Australia, and are recording a new album called Troubadourly Yours. Fresh from the open road, these are sturdy, straight-talking songs that see the good in you.
"Scott Cook’s seventh 'love letter' to the world is all strings and beauty, a 12-song agnostic endorsement of love over fear... It doesn’t condemn, it summons to one fire... Of all his records this one simply feels the best. ✭✭✭✭✭" –The Edmonton Journal
"Damn, this is a gorgeous album. Scott Cook’s voice –– vocally and lyrically –– is as clear-eyed, optimistic, and straightforward as ever... Tangle of Souls is the medicine we could all use right now." –Adobe and Teardrops
"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
