A guitar-playing, sax-blowing, crowd-pleasing looping singer/songwriter, Canadian Ian Sherwood’s fifth studio album Bring The Light, produced by Daniel Ledwell (The Once, Jenn Grant, Rachel Sermanni), is filled with the same hooky cleverness that has endeared Sherwood to his live audiences. This time, the deft work of Ledwell’s production adds a new dimension of beauty and depth to Sherwood’s songs.

Combined with a voice that won him a 2013 Canadian Folk Music Award for Contemporary Singer, Ian Sherwood is a born story teller and a constant creator, his music dances the line between folk and pop. His live performances thrive on intimacy. Whether it’s a theatre show or large festival stage, his persona is irresistible and completely destroys fourth walls.

When not touring the UK, US or all across Canada, Sherwood produces for other artists as well as for theatre, film and television. He most recently won a 2017 Robert Merritt for Outstanding Original Score for the play Tompkinsville. He was named 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. Bob Mersereau of CBC Radio described him as “… a natural performer who entertains as much with his wit and stories as with his songs.”

Ian Sherwood will be playing at Ross Gig Club at The Venue on Saturday, May 26 at xx.xxpm. Tickets available on the door
