About Five Star Homeless
Five Star Homeless, led by Matt Griffith, has steadily gained popularity on the Canadian prairie roots music scene since the year 2000. Hailing from the heart of their beloved province of Saskatchewan, this Saskatoon band continues to seduce audiences with a unique and original brand of folk music. Their distinct musical style resonates with the traditional sounds of country, bluegrass and rockabilly while never failing to make a connection between the old and the new.
While Five Star Homeless takes pride in their instrumental diversity, the band’s primary focus is on storytelling. Not of the tales and myths commonly associated with the Saskatchewan prairie, but the stories of the people whose effect on this proud and unique culture has been considerably more subtle and indirect.

About Scott Cook
I write songs, essays, poetry & even html code… back myself up with guitar, banjo, ukulele, harmonica, and sometimes an rc-50 loop station. Have spent a lot of time hanging around with The Anglers, Taiwanese children, and general riffraff. Love the open roads and the sleeping out in summertime.
