Scott Cook at the Waverley
1969-12-31 | Waverley Hotel :: 2692 Dunsmuir Ave Cumberland,
Edmonton troubadour Scott Cook is a busy man. Between organizing and playing over 150 shows a year while crossing the continent living out of his van, he's managed to record and release three full-length albums within the last four years. His brand new release, Moonlit Rambles is a self-produced collection of travels and tales, with contributions from many of his contemporaries and close musical friends. To celebrate the release, Scott and his band The Long Weekends are taking their danceable blend of folk, roots and reggae on a two-month tour of Alberta and BC. Band mates Jesse Dee and Jacquie B are along for the ride, opening shows with songs from their upcoming release Our Ghosts Will Fill These Walls. If you've never had the pleasure of seeing Scott Cook live and in person, don't miss your chance to be musically delighted and completely engaged. His brand of protest folk and storytelling balladry is music for today, with pearls of the old time masters flowing throughout. Scott's stage presence captivates the audience as if he were speaking to friends gathered around a campfire, sharing stories and a few laughs over a song.

"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
