Your man in Japan (and Canada when he can).
Andrew
Scott is an energetic and captivating singer/songwriter. His
musicianship is top notch and his performances are always full of funk,
humour, strange instruments, pterodactyl squawks, grunts, grooves,
storytelling and good ol'fashioned zinger wit.
Born and raised
in Grande Prairie, Alberta. In 2002 Andrew moved to Lethbridge Alberta
to study Music and Education at the University of Lethbridge. During
this time he ended up being the energetic frontman for a very popular
local group called The Turncoats ( www.myspace.com/turncoatslethbridge
). This group recorded two discs (Bloodrunnin, Teeth Like A Chainsaw)
and played at venues and festivals all over Western Canada including The
South Country Fair, The Spectrum Festival, the Lethbridge Folk Club,
the Kispiox Valley Music Festival, the Peace Starts at Home Festival,
the Ironwood Stage and Grill, The Tongue and Groove, Better Than Freds,
Broken City, and The Slice Bar and Grill.
In 2007 he graduated
from the University of Lethbridge with a B.Ed/B.Mus and headed off to
Japan where he is currently working with his wife Julie Sauve Scott as
an English/Culture teacher in Toyohashi, Aichi with the JET Programme.
He has continued an active performance schedule there and in May or 2009
released a new disc entitled '13 Birds of Prey', an international
project recorded in both Canadian and Japanese studios and featuring
artists from Canada, Japan, Ireland and the United States.
