Adam Cooke
Trained as a journalist, the Richmond County native spent most of the '90s at Port Hawkesbury's CIGO Radio (now 101.5 The Hawk FM) and then the town's key newspaper, The Reporter, blowing the lid off several scandals and uncovering unscrupulousness at all levels. But his love of writing, singing, and performing distracted him at key moments and finally proved too much to overcome, leading to his 2001 departure from the media to pursue music full-time. In the following eight years, he had more fun than any one person should be able to handle, performing at venues of all sizes around the Maritimes. His two albums - the 2001 debut Side Roads and the 2004 follow-up EAST - have sold a combined 1,200 copies around Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and New Brunswick, and he's already started studio work on his third disc, expected to reach retailers, music lovers and a growing fan base in the coming months
