Scott Cook is an Edmonton-based, tirelessly traveling songwriter who brings a wealth of experience and a deep love of humanity to his songwriting and storytelling. His tunes reveal folk, roots, blues, country and reggae influences, accompanied with deft arrangements on acoustic guitar, banjo, ukulele and foot percussion, or backed by his band The Long Weekends. He is currently touring festivals and venues across North America in support of his new release "Moonlit Rambles".


"Scott Cook has distilled his travels down into songs powered by a sharp eye for imagery, a healthy dose of humanity, and that unforgettable voice, that at the same time intones the rigors of the road and the most comfortable couch you have ever slept on." -David Francey, 3x Juno Winner.  For more lovely press quotes on Scott, check this out!

We featured Scott's song "Let your Horses Run" off the new album.

Upcoming show:
August 15th at Devaney's Irish pub, a singer songwriter night with Scott!

This week's feature artist is JDML.
His biography in his own words: I've been making music before I was aware of it, I started seriously pursuing a direction and a sound in mid 2008 and have been making leaps and bounds as a musician and performer since, big things to come!

Music haunts me like a shadow, I never escape it and it never escapes me, I've been running for years and hiding from it but now I will embrace this welcome ghost, I am Jordan Douglas Marshall Latter and I am a songwriter.
*We featured JDML's song Soar.
