"Before Tonight" was a return with old musical friends to the Song Shop recording studio. Though several of the songs had been honed with live performances, none of the songs had been previously recorded. The original working title of the album was 'West of the Don', a line from the song "Cabbage Town", however Scott's friend William Prince listened to an early version of the album and suggested a new sequence and title and here we are.

Moon Was a Feather is Scott Nolan's first book of poetry. Inspired by his surroundings, history, and fellow poets Scott explores the rhythm of words outside the scope of melody (though a few have crossed over into the music realm). The cover is a collage made for the book by fellow Winnipegger and well-known movie impresario, Guy Maddin. Published 2019. All Rights Reserved.

“These poems are love songs to our city, Nolan's dog, Bukowski, Burroughs, and Cohen. These are songs sung at rainy midnights and on long winter mornings. I read these and am home. I see Scott walking the streets with his collar popped up to the wind, brow furrowed with the heavy gift of poetry.”
Katherena Vermette
“Scott Nolan's poetry, like his songwriting, is unflinchingly detailed, deeply empathetic, and wondrously assured. He shows us our city and ourselves - flawed and beautiful, worthy and strange. I'm so grateful he is out there, walking between two rivers, returning to write down what he found.”
