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.
