Scott Mackay
Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island, Canada
About
From the sounds of slapback echo, twangy Telecasters and swooning pedal steel, it’s clear that Scott MacKay has an affinity for country music of the 1950s and ‘60s. But the singer/songwriter from Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island also has a sharp wit that shines through on the 10 original songs that comprise his latest ECMA-winning album Stupid Cupid, a collection that offers a fresh, modern take on classic country. For MacKay, it’s his third album and the first reflection of what he describes as getting bit by the classic country bug since his previous release. “I really became smitten with songwriters such as Shel Silverstein, Hank Williams, Bobby Bare, Roger Miller and others,” he says. Now with Stupid Cupid, Scott MacKay is ready to take country music back to the future and place himself squarely in the conversation about Canadian roots music artists to keep a close eye on.
