Scott MacKay will be kicking off a new season of Sofa Sundays! Join us in the Artist Landing Art Gallery for an afternoon of great music!
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, PEI also has a sharp wit that shines through on the 10 original songs that comprise his latest album Stupid Cupid, a collection that offers a fresh, modern take on classic country.
Co-produced with Adam Gallant at The Hill Sound Studio in Charlottetown and mixed by Scott Franchuk in Edmonton, Stupid Cupid features MacKay backed by his regular rhythm section of Josh and Sam Langille, along with renowned guitarist Grant Siemens and pedal steel master Burke Carroll. For MacKay, this third album is the first reflection of what he describes as getting bit by the classic country bug since his previous release.
The results of that hard work speak for themselves on Stupid Cupid. From the risqué new single Romance Novel, to Brand New Heart’s tale of someone receiving said organ from a man killed by his lover, to the surprisingly philosophical God Walks Into A Bar, MacKay effortlessly breathes new life into longstanding country music themes. However, it’s all designed to put a smile on your face, as well as a tear in your beer.
