AWARD-winning Canadian singer-songwriter Ian Sherwood will be in Bridstow on Saturday, October 11, one of the dates on his tour of south-west England in support of his new album Everywhere To Go, released this month.

Ian Sherwood is a musician, story teller and a constant creator. He has penned tunes for many other artists as well as theatre, film and television. He was named Contemporary Singer of the Year by the 2013 Canadian Folk Music Awards, Best Male Artist of the Year by the 2012 International Acoustic Music Awards and was the 2008 and 2010 Music Nova Scotia Musician Of The Year. CBC Radio described him as “... a natural performer who entertains as much with his wit and stories as with his songs.”

Starting his music career as an in-demand saxophone player in Toronto, Sherwood soon began looking for an outlet for his poetic side. His unique musicianship combined with his tales of heart-break, victory and adventure quickly gained recognition as a solid performer, lyricist and player. This led to a nomination for the 2011 ECMA award for Male Solo Artist Recording of the Year.

Ian Sherwood is at Bridstow Village Hall on Saturday, October 11 at 7.30pm.
