Scott Cook was born in West Virginia, grew up around Western Canada, earned a Philosophy degree in Edmonton and spent six years teaching kindergarten in Taiwan before setting out on the road full-time in 2007. He’s made his living touring almost incessantly across Canada, the US, Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere ever since, averaging over a hundred shows and a dozen summer festivals a year while 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 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. In 2026 he's releasing his eighth album Troubadourly Yours, with tours of North America, Europe, and Australia. 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
