Corin Raymond Winnipeg-born, Ontario-raised singer/storyteller/troubadour Corin Raymond’s catalogue features songs that namecheck the likes of John Prine and Sam Cooke –– Corin's music lives somewhere between the two –– and his songs have been covered by Dustin Bentall, The Strumbellas, The Harpoonist & the Axe Murderer, The Good Lovelies, Scott Cook, and other far-flung fellow travellers. The tracklist of his JUNOnominated 2016 album Hobo Jungle Fever Dreams was described by No Depression as “a hypnotic, literate collection of dark tall tales… Romantic, immediate, and narcotic,” and Corin will go along with that. Corin has made five albums, his most recent being Dirty Mansions, produced in Winnipeg by Scott Nolan and released at the end of 2019, just in time for the temporary end-of-life as we knew it. Corin was based out of Toronto for the development of his career, but for the time being keeps his stuff in Hamilton. “Corin Raymond is a storyteller who by the end of the night you’ll have known your whole life.” – The Globe and Mail. Scott Cook Alberta’s Scott Cook has distilled the stories collected over seventeen years of nearincessant touring across Canada, the USA, the UK, Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere into plainspoken, keenly observant verse. He brings a disarming honesty and deep love of humanity to his songcraft and storytelling, accompanying himself with fingerstyle guitar and clawhammer banjo and often backed by his partner Pamela Mae on upright bass and vocals. He has been a full-time troubadour since 2007, releasing seven albums independently. All the hard miles notwithstanding, he still believes that songs can change your life, and your life can change the world. “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
