Prairie balladeer with a social conscience and a sense of humour, Scott Cook sings sturdy, straight-talking songs that see the good in you!

For this, his only Sydney show, he'll be joined by acclaimed Australian double-bassist, singer and songwriter Liz Frencham, and brilliant Oz mandolinist and songwriter, Justin Vilchez, as The Little Rippers. Liz will also open the night with her own set (7.00 - 7.20pm}.
Born in West Virginia and raised on the Canadian prairies, in 2007 Scott 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, & NZ, playing numerous shows and festivals, all the while distilling his experiences into empathetic, keenly observant verse. "He has 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."
