Alma Cook

Alma Cook is a pop singer-songwriter who found her creative roots living in Chicago and Los Angeles. After spending years coming back and forth to Williston for odd jobs in the oilfield, she fell in love with North Dakota and is now here to stay – just in time to make state and national headlines for her recent music video “5000 Candles,” which showcased the faces and stories of her friends in the Bakken.

Alma Cook marries soulful, mature melodies with thoughtful and often playful lyrics. A dabbler in many genres, she is known primarily for R&B stylings that register somewhere between TLC and Norah Jones – but Alma has a little something for everyone, at time dipping into jazz, folk, alternative rock, spoken word, and electronic dance music.
