The Wooden Sky

as a way to pursue an honest, sustainable career.

Brandon Wolfe Scott is a Vancouver-based singer-songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist best known as the guitarist and co-songwriter for the Juno Award-nominated indie rock band Yukon Blonde.

Alongside his work with the band, Scott has cultivated a distinct solo trajectory that follows a more introspective 1970s inspired folk pop through organic arrangements, intimate storytelling.

And he's an artist who has survived the extra day jobs, the manager ripping them off, money losing tours, only to find a greater sense of purpose through meaningful collaborations in various forms of authentic art and community.

My name is Glen Erickson.

Yeah.

Appreciate you taking the time here and talk about some stuff and career.

Like obviously, well, not obviously to me, or maybe for some people, um, I have the familiarity as being part of the band Yukon Blonde.

That's-- Okay." And then, and then, um, Gavin, who is-- who produced the record, he's a friend of mine, um, and he plays in an amazing band called Moon River, and he was in a band called The Wooden Sky back in the day, which was a big band for me in high school, and so I really look up to him, and he sort of texted me one day just being like, "Have you written any new songs? I'm trying to do some production stuff and would love to work together." And I said, "No," and he said, "Well, I'm sure you have voice memos, so send them to me." And then basically he-- I did, and then he kind of basically was like, "Well, if you can fly yourself to Toronto, just stay with me for a couple days and we'll just see what happens in the studio." And so from there, this record kind of all of a sudden became a, a little, a little seed in my brain, and then from those sessions kind of grew out more ideas, and then all of a sudden I was, I was flying up to Winnipeg and we sat in the studio for a week and, and made a record.

So that's...
