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 zip zap wit.
Born and raised in Grande Prairie, Alberta, Andrew grew up in a mix of musical styles and at an early age got involved in the musical community in whatever way he could. Musical theatre, Battle of the Bands, Garage rockers, Coffee House balladeers, Orchestras, Choirs, Electro-acoustic ensembles and Sally Ann Brass Bands, a little bit of everything got tossed around in there. In 2002 he 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 to work as an English/Culture teacher in Toyohashi, Aichi with the JET Programme. He continued an active performance schedule there and in May of 2009 released a solo disc entitled '13 Birds of Prey'. This album, an international project, was recorded in both Canadian and Japanese studios and featuring artists from Canada, Japan, Ireland and the United States.
