I perform solo or with my band the Long Weekends, who include Jesse Dee (electric guitar), Moses Gregg (bass), Pascal Lecours (drums), Ian Stults (drums) and the ever-lovin' Hotplates, Jacqueline Boisvert, Megan Kemshead and Lynett McKell on shoo-wops and doobie-doo-wop shoo-wahs.
On Taiwan, I play with the Anglers, which is an ever-changing cast of characters including the other songwriter in the band Tyler Dakin (guitar, vocals), and ruffians like Roger Smith (bass), Jubba Van Wyk (drums), and Andy Francis (trombone).
Past members, part-timers and interlopers include Crees Thomson (hand drums, vocals), Darryl Els (bass), Duncan "L to the double L-well" Shelwell (drums), Paddy Byrne, Kevin Lee & Paul Head (the saxesfaction), Pierre Lesage (drums), Pascal Lecours (drums), Adam Goring (drums), Ikeda Kinya (bass), Joe Splane (guitar) and a few other unsavory lads.
Influences
Greg Brown, G-Love, Bob Dylan, John Prine, Jimmy Rodgers, Hank Williams, Kelly Joe Phelps, Leonard Cohen, Burning Spear, Bob Marley, Joseph Hill, John Sebastian, Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Bruce Springsteen, Nick Drake, Van Morrison...
and friends of mine like Corin Raymond, Raghu Lokanathan, Dana Wylie, Jesse Dee, Bill Bourne, Geoff Berner, Carolyn Mark, Kris Demeanor and Shayne Lazarowich.
I write songs, essays, poetry & even html code... back myself up with guitar, banjo, ukulele, harmonica, and sometimes an rc-50 loop station. Have spent a lot of time hanging around with The Anglers, Taiwanese children, and general riffraff. Love the open roads and the sleeping out in summertime.

Hi there Scott Cook, thanks for being friends, really appreciate it! really love your site and what you stand for...good luck here on myspace and whatever you have set your sights on in the future!:-)

The Bop Ensemble i just recently seen and loved them and ill definitely come out to you aswell. School will have started by then so i will bring along some of my music friends. see you then.
Scott, You left me a great little comment last night about hearing Small Time on the radio and I was so drunk I think I went and deleted it when I was trying to put it up on the board. I was too drunk to walk but I could still type! Little did they know in grade 10 typing class that they were preparing me to be able to touch-type no matter how drunk I got. They did a good job man, I can type like Marc Roy can pick! Watch me go, lickety-clackin'!! Anyway, thanks for the message. Talk SOON, Raymo
Let's talk soon, brother. I just did 36 shows in 6 weeks, and yesterday was the first day I felt like I was BACK. I'm casting some dreams out West and I know we need to connect about that. Also I've got a record for you, I've just got to get the thing in the mail. All my troubadour love, Corin
hey scott, yeah i was the mc that glorious night! i left early too as i'm a baker and my days begin early. i dare not venture on to facebook so i'll keep tabs on your web site for your shows as i hope to listen live another time. thanks again for playing for us cheers
