Биография

Guitar, saxophone, huge songwriting and a voice that won him a Canadian Folk Music Award for Contemporary Singer, Ian Sherwood Brings The Light to every stage he stands on. 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 won a 2017 Robert Merritt for Outstanding Original Score for the play “Tompkinsville”. He has been named Best Male Artist of the Year by the International Acoustic Music Awards and was twice named Music Nova Scotia Musician Of The Year. Ian Sherwood's fifth studio album “Bring The Light”, produced by Daniel Ledwell, is filled with the same hooky cleverness that has endeared Sherwood to his audiences. This time, the deft work of Ledwell's production brings Sherwood's songs a new dimension of beauty and depth. "Everywhere To Go is a record which deserves be heard far and wide. Despite starting out as a saxophonist, acoustic folk is Ian Sherwood’s forte and it’s something he does rather well." – Americana-UK.com “a brilliant slice of Canadian folk pop, songs to make your toes tap and lyrics to lift your soul...” – anythinggoesmusic.org.uk
