Scott Cook and Pamela Mae

storytelling folk and roots

Scott Cook sings sturdy, straight-talking songs that see the good in you. Born in West Virginia and raised on the Canadian prairies, in 2007 he quit his job teaching kindergarten in Taiwan to move into a minivan and embark on the life of a full-time troubadour. Since then he's toured almost incessantly across Canada, the US, Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere, averaging over 150 shows and a dozen summer festivals a year, all the while distilling his experiences into empathetic, keenly observant verse. His seventh and latest recording Tangle of Souls was recorded in Australia and comes packaged in a cloth-bound, 240-page hardcover book of road stories and ruminations. The album earned Scott his third Canadian Folk Music Award nomination, for English Songwriter of the Year, and its second single "Say Can You See" took top honours for the folk category in both the 2020 UK Songwriting Competition and the 2020 Great American Song Contest. Since January of 2022 he's been touring full-time with his sweetheart Pamela Mae on upright bass and vocals, crisscrossing 46 states, 8 Canadian provinces and a whole lot of Australia, while broadcasting solar-powered livestreams from the back of their campervan Roadetta.
