This special Tuesday night show will be open to the public and live-streamed from the 3rd Street Facebook page. SCOTT COOK will be our featured performer with the show starting at 8:00 PM EST. The LiveStream feed will begin at 8:00 PM. WARNING - THIS MAY BE THE BEST SHOW OF THE YEAR - MISS IT AT YOUR OWN RISK. At 8:00 PM EST, we welcome back the great Scott Cook! Scott Cook writes sturdy, straight-talking songs that see the good in you. In 2007 the West Virginia-born, Western Canada-raised songwriter 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 a hundred shows and a dozen summer festivals a year, and releasing eight albums of plainspoken, keenly observant verse along the way. Cook has taught songwriting at various festivals, camps and workshops across Canada, the US, Australia and New Zealand, including stints on faculty at the Kerrville Folk Festival Songwriters' School in Texas, Sisters Folk Festival's Americana Song Academy in Oregon, and Lamb's Retreat in Michigan. His seventh album Tangle of Souls 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. His follow-up Troubadourly Yours comes out in August of 2026 on CD and vinyl, followed by a 302-page hardcover book and audiobook of extended liner notes, road stories and ruminations. Its first single “There Is a River” won the grand prize in the 2025 Great American Song Contest and its second single “Frankie’s Braids” took first prize in the Special category. Amid all the bitterness and division in the world, Cook’s shows are an ongoing invitation to circle up around the fire. Check out Scott at https://www.facebook.com/scottcooksongs.
