Canada's own prairie balladeer Scott Cook is a tirelessly traveling DIY songwriter with heart forever on sleeve. Road-worn, painfully honest, and deeply human, his straight-talking tunes weave together folk, roots, blues, soul and country with spacious fingerstyle guitar and clawhammer banjo arrangements. Scott spent six years on Taiwan, tangling with kindergarteners and playing music on weekends, before trading it all in for the life of a full-time musical hobo in North America. He's been making a full-time living on the road since 2007, touring extensively across Canada, the US, Europe, and Asia, and is currently on tour in support of his fourth release, One More Time Around. Its opening track "Pass It Along" won the Folk and Acoustic category in the 2013 UK Songwriting Contest, with UK magazine Maverick Country naming him "one of Canada's most inspiring and imaginative storytellers". 2013 finds him returning to Taiwan to release the new CD, touring around the island by motorbike, and reuniting with his old band the Anglers.

Originally from Toronto, Canada, Jason Grenier is better known in musical circles as Mister Green. He writes haunting, melodic songs on themes that never stray far from the heart, in a style blending the flavors and sensibilities of country, folk, blues, rock, and even some reggae now and again. Whether you see him solo or fronting Mister Green + Highway 9, you'll feel the grit in your teeth when it's over.
