Scott Cook & Pamela Mae

Scott Cook is an Albertan songwriter based in Edmonton who quit his job teaching kindergarten in Taiwan in 2007 and moved into a minivan, making his living as a troubadour ever since by touring almost incessantly across Canada, the US, Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere, averaging 150 shows and a dozen summer festivals a year. He has released 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. In 2025 they're releasing Scott's eighth album Troubadourly Yours with tours of North America, Europe and Australia to follow. Scott Cook has received numerous accolades including nominations for Emerging Artist in 2013 and English Songwriter of the Year in 2017 at the Canadian Folk Music Awards. His track Pass It Along won the Folk and Acoustic category in the 2013 UK Songwriting Contest, and he won the same category again in 2020. He won the Folk and Americana category in the 2020 Great American Song Contest, was a Kerrville New Folk Finalist in 2018 and 2021, and was Falcon Ridge Folk Festival's Most Wanted Artist in 2019. The single Say Can You See was the second most-played song of 2020 on Folk Alliance International's folk radio charts. Scott now frequently tours with Pamela Mae, combining their distinct musical voices to create powerful collaborative performances that showcase the best of contemporary folk songwriting.
