Danny’s music is steeped in his affection for his home in the hinterland, a blue collar town, the stink of the pulp mill, and everyday stuff in Northern BC. The band has four albums released to date and toured all over Canada. Their latest album “Contemporary Accordion Music” charted on the top 50 across Canadian Campus and Community Radio.

Danny Bell and His Disappointments released their second album, “Songs for the Town”, in December of 2020. Exclaim! Magazine called the album an “anti-capitalist, anti-elitist, anti-asshole folk record for small moments in small places.” The follow-up to Songs for the Town was a downtempo western-folk record called “Killing Birds”, recorded in the foreman’s office of an abandoned sawmill just outside of Mackenzie, BC in 2022. The band has now moved toward a more psych-punk-western folk sound on their newest release, titled “Contemporary Accordion Music.” This marks their third full-length album.

In 2007, Albertan songwriter Scott Cook quit his job teaching kindergarten in Taiwan and moved into a minivan. He’s made his living as a troubadour ever since, touring almost incessantly across Canada, the US, Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere, averaging 120 shows and a dozen summer festivals a year, and releasing seven albums of plainspoken, keenly observant verse along the way. His 2020 collection Tangle of Souls came packaged in a cloth-bound, 240-page hardcover book of road stories and politico-philosophical musings. The album spent two weeks at #1 on Alberta's province-wide community radio network CKUA, and earned Scott his third Canadian Folk Music Award nomination, for English Songwriter of the Year. Its second single "Say Can You See" was the second most-played song of 2020 on Folk Alliance International's folk radio charts, and took top honours for the folk category in both the 2020 UK Songwriting Competition and the 2020 Great American Song Contest. Since early 2022 he's been touring steadily with his sweetheart Pamela Mae on upright bass, banjo and vocals, visiting 45 states, 8 Canadian provinces and a big portion of Australia. In 2025 they're releasing a new album called Troubadourly Yours with tours of North America, Europe and Australia to follow. Fresh from the open road, these are sturdy, straight-talking songs that see the good in you.
