"As good a modern folkie as we have these days"

Scott's latest - Tangle of Souls - 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. We welcome Scott back to Folk Night, accompanied by Pamela Mae on upright bass and vocals. JAY LINDEN is a fabled Cambridge based singer-songwriter, who released his 3rd recording, Ordinary Sunrise, in 2023."
