The Ramblers Choir (Scott Nolan, Joe Nolan & Scott Cook with Pamela Mae)

Ramblers Choir is a kismet collaboration between Canadian songsmiths and veteran road dogs Scott Nolan, Joe Nolan, Scott Cook and Pamela Mae – four prairie voices bringing songs and stories to the mythical campfire. Begun on a whim as a one-off, the synergy was too strong not to reconvene. Scott Nolan is an acclaimed songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, poet and visual artist from Winnipeg, Manitoba whose songs have been covered by Hayes Carll, Mary Gauthier, Watermelon Slim, and Corin Raymond among others. Edmonton’s Joe Nolan is a true workhorse, virtuoso guitarist, elusive poet, and musical chameleon. Known for his scrappy solo shows and his arresting stage charm, his songs are at times fragile and fractured, yet winningly wistful. Scott Cook has been touring steadily around the world since 2007, distilling his experiences into plain-spoken, uplifting songs. Nowadays he’s travelling with his sweetheart Pamela Mae on upright bass, banjo and vocals. These four musical voices blend into something scruffy yet sublime –– a true ramblers choir.
