Scott Cook

Friday, September 25th, 2026 at 7:30 PM | 7th Street Loft

Canadian troubadour Scott Cook has been touring almost incessantly across Canada, the U.S., Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere since 2007, averaging 150 shows and a dozen summer festivals every year, while independently releasing seven albums of plainspoken, keenly observant verse along the way. Known for imaginative and socially-committed songwriting, Scott has taught his craft at the Kerrville (TX) and Sisters (OR) folk festivals and had one of his songs take top honors in the 2020 Great American Song Contest.
