Autumn Tour 2023: Port Fairy Folk Festival to Lake Gkula
featuring Folk Bitch Trio (AUS) and Scott Cook (CAN)

Melbourne/Naarm based Folk Bitch Trio marry confessional songwriting and gentle instrumentation to craft a sound which will bring you both joy and heartache.
Folk Bitch Trio blends the voices of Heide Peverelle, Jeanie Pilkington and Gracie Sinclair into lush three part harmony, with a style which draws influence from contemporary and traditional folk, alt-rock and country.
FBT’s debut ‘Edie’ gained praise across radio and social media, receiving acclaim for holding Triple J Unearthed listeners ‘captive’ with their ‘heavenly’ harmony. The trio delights audiences across Naarm with their intimate, melancholic sound, featured in the shopfront series for Milk! Records, and being described by Grammy-nominated Phoebe Bridgers as having ‘cleaner harmony’ than her own trio ‘boygenius’.
Folk Bitch Trio will pull at your heart strings, delivering raw and honest songwriting with warmth and harmony.
Beautifully done… that solo vocal had me and then you start on the harmonies? Jeez Louise.
– Zan Rowe, Triple J
You know those songs that feel and sound SO stunning, you could cry? This is exactly one of those moments. Those harmonies are heavenly.
– Georgia Mooney, Triple J
Oh gosh, those vocals entwined are seriously majestic. Gonna need a minute to recover from this song.
– Dave Ruby Howe, Triple J Unearthed

In 2007, Albertan songwriter Scott Cook quit his job teaching kindergarten in Taiwan and moved into a minivan. He’s made his living as a troubadour ever since, touring almost incessantly across Canada, the US, Europe, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere, averaging 150 shows and a dozen summer festivals a year, and releasing seven albums of plainspoken, keenly observant verse along the way.
His latest collection, Tangle of Souls, comes packaged in a cloth-bound, 240-page hardcover book of road stories and ruminations, equal parts introspection and insurrection. The album spent two weeks at #1 on Alberta’s province-wide community radio network CKUA, and earned Scott his third Canadian Folk Music Award nomination, for English Songwriter of the Year. Its second single “Say Can You See” was the second most-played song of 2020 on Folk Alliance International’s folk radio charts, and took top honours for the folk category in both the 2020 UK Songwriting Competition and the 2020 Great American Song Contest.
Scott has made eight tours of Australia already, including performances at Candelo, Cobargo, Cygnet, Dorrigo, Healesville, Illawarra, Kangaroo Valley, Maldon, Mullumbimby, the National, Newstead, River Folk, Woodford, and Yackandandah folk festivals. In 2023 he’s returning with the new album and his unwavering belief that songs can change your life, and your life can change the world.
Scott Cook’s seventh ‘love letter’ to the world is all strings and beauty, a 12-song agnostic endorsement of love over fear… It doesn’t condemn, it summons to one fire… Of all his records this one simply feels the best. ✭✭✭✭✭
– Fish Griwkowsky, The Edmonton Journal
Damn, this is a gorgeous album. Scott Cook’s voice – vocally and lyrically – is as clear-eyed, optimistic, and straightforward as ever… Tangle of Souls is the medicine we could all use right now.
– Rachel Cholst, Adobe and Teardrops
He sings his heart and soul, and in doing so lets light flood into your own… He has a good eye for imagery, a gentle human touch, a wry sense of humour, a whole lot of integrity, a warm, rugged voice and a bunch of memorable lines… Truly one of Woody Guthrie’s children.
