SUMMARY:Scott Cook & The Little Rippers\, live at The Old Church on the Hill for BB&R Weekend
DESCRIPTION:Scott Cook (legendary Canadian Folk Troubadour) returns to The Old Church on the Hill with an all-star band in tow\nScott Cook and the Little Rippers – www.scottcook.net\nScott Cook sings sturdy\, straight-talking songs that see the good in you. Born in West Virginia and raised on the Canadian prairies\, in 2007 he quit a job teaching kindergarten in Taiwan to embark on the life of a full-time troubadour. Since then he’s toured incessantly across Canada\, the US\, Europe\, Asia\, Australia\, New Zealand and elsewhere\, averaging over a hundred shows and a dozen summer festivals a year\, and distilling his experiences into empathetic\, keenly observant verse. Scott has already completed ten tours of Australia\, including performances at Woodford\, Port Fairy\, Cobargo\, Candelo\, Cygnet\, Healesville\, Mullumbimby\, Newstead\, Kangaroo Valley\, Dorrigo\, Maldon\, Illawarra\, the National\, and Yackandandah folk festivals. His seventh album Tangle of Souls was recorded in Trentham\, Victoria and comes packaged in a cloth-bound\, 240-page hardcover book of road stories and ruminations. The album spent two weeks at #1 back home on Alberta’s province-wide community radio network\, and earned Scott his third Canadian Folk Music Award nomination\, for English Songwriter of the Year. This year he’s returning to Australia with his eighth album Troubadourly Yours and forming a new band called Scott Cook and the Little Rippers with longtime collaborator Liz Frencham on upright bass\, Justin Vilchez of the High Street Drifters on mandolin and Pete Fidler on dobro.\n“He sings his heart and soul\, and in doing so lets light flood into your own… He has a good eye for imagery\, a gentle human touch\, a wry sense of humour\, a whole lot of integrity\, a warm\, rugged voice and a bunch of memorable lines… Truly one of Woody Guthrie’s children.” –RnR Magazine\n“These are whip-smart\, bone-achingly lovely\, socially committed songs presented with a bold\, elegant directness evoking the very best of the folk music tradition. Last night’s performance in Notional Space was a thing of rare beauty.” —Mark Jacobs\, presenter\, Notional Space\, Vancouver\nWe’re excited to welcome Scott and his band back to The Old Church on the Hill on Sunday 9 November\, as part of Bendigo Blues & Roots Weekend (mini-fest). Doors open 3:30pm for an 4pm start. Pre-sale tickets $20 or $25 at the door on the day.\nAbout the venue:\nThe Old Church on the Hill is on Djaara Country – the land of the Dja Dja Wurrung people and is located on the corner of Harkness and Russell Streets\, Quarry Hill\, Bendigo.The Singer/Songwriter Showcase events\, staged at the Old Church by the Bendigo Blues & Roots crew on a semi-regular basis\, are an opportunity to enjoy a House Concert vibe in a public venue. The door charge is kept as low as possible to ensure accessibility to all. Under 12s free and\, although drinks are available for sale\, the focus is on THE MUSIC.Proceeds from drink sales go to supporting the Old Church crew and their many worthy initiatives.We look forward to your company for an intimate concert experience like you’ve likely never experienced before.

We’ve tried to make sure she’s everywhere we are since – we’ve had her at two festivals and a private event for Woodford over the last three years. She has a gorgeous wonderfully warm voice\, really just stunning – a lovely manner on stage\, and she’s exactly the type of generous\, humble and good-spirited artist that make working in music such a pleasure.’-Woodford Folk Festival\n\n“Hailey’s honest song-writing and emotive\, yet flawless\, delivery draws the listener in like few others can achieve. She creates a connection between performer and audience I’ve rarely witnessed.”- Colin Thompson\, Festival Director Bendigo Blues and Roots Music Festival\n\nAbout the venue:\nThe Old Church on the Hill is on Djaara Country – the land of the Dja Dja Wurrung people and is located on the corner of Harkness and Russell Streets\, Quarry Hill\, Bendigo.The Singer/Songwriter Showcase events\, staged at the Old Church by the Bendigo Blues & Roots crew on a semi-regular basis\, are an opportunity to enjoy a House Concert vibe in a public venue.
