SCOTTKLEIN

Austin Texas

Austin, Texas based Canadian musician sits between Southern Gothic and Americana—atmospheric, honest, and rooted in lived experience. His single Hey Lady features Erica Maier of The Garrys on lead guitar and backing vocals, with Lucas Goetz (formerly of Deep Dark Woods) on drums and lap steel, and Chris Mason (also ex-Deep Dark Woods) on bass. It’s a portrait of a woman from a prairie town—her life dulled by addiction and isolation, reaching for a way out. Klein is currently recording with RIAA Gold-certified producer Chris “Boo” Boosahda (Shakey Graves) and Jonathan Tyler (Nikki Lane, Paul Cauthen, Reckless Kelly). The new work leans into stark textures and emotional weight, staying true to the voice he’s been honing. His single Sunshine was written for a lost lover. What’s My Name explores memory, disconnection, and the damage we carry. His 2022 album Jesse’s Hotel—featuring Leot Hanson (The Sheepdogs)—was nominated for a Saskatchewan Music Award.
