Scott MacLeod ~
www.scottmacleod.ca
Born and raised in a small community on the east coast
of Canada, Scott MacLeod was exposed to the power of the
storyteller at an early age. Scott's songs are about
moments and memories of people, places, and life
experiences from the east coast to the prairies. His
songs range from acoustic ballads to driving rock and,
with influences like Blue Rodeo, Neil Young, and Steve
Earle, there is something in his music for everyone.
Scott began his music career in Prince Edward Island
and, like many of his Maritime brethren, moved to
Calgary in 2001 to find work. Here, he immersed himself
in the culture of Canada's West which, in turn, immersed
itself in the words of his songs. He began performing in
2001 and has established himself as a musician and
songwriter with a genuine, thoughtful, and distinct
personality. Scott writes and performs songs for the
common man who still upholds the traditional values of
hard work, commitment, and honesty while coping with the
curveballs thrown by the pace and change of modern life.
In the past seven years, Scott has performed locally at
venues such as the Ironwood, the Palomino, Broken City,
A Bar Named Sue, The Ship & Anchor, and Vern's. He has
opened for national and international artists such as
The Duhks, Matt Minglewood, and Dustin Bentall. And, he
has been a featured artist at NXNE (two consecutive
years), the Sled Island Festival, and the South Country
Fair.
Recently, Scott was selected to perform in the
"Songwriter's Café" at the 2008 CCMA's (Canadian Country
Music Awards) held in Winnipeg. Scott's songs have been
finalists at the Calgary Folk Festival Songwriting
competition three years in a row; his song "Traveller's
Rest" advanced to the second round of 2006 International
Songwriting Competition (Nashville, TN) and his song
"Sunshine and Smiles" received honorable mention in the
2006 Billboard World Songwriting Competition. |
