An Evening with Ron Sexsmith

Friday 12 May 2023

This event has passed.

Rail strikes are planned on Friday 12 May 2023, please leave extra time for your journey.

Ron Sexsmith was drawn to music from an early age by the melodic songs of the era, which he heard on the radio and by his mum’s record collection.

Over his decades long career, the three-time Juno Award-winning singer songwriter’s style has evolved into a unique and timeless blend of classic pop, contemporary folk, and roots-rock idioms. He has built a steadfast reputation with critics and with some of his own heroes (Elton John, John Prine, and Leonard Cohen) for his characteristically honest, sensitive, and enduring approach to the songwriting craft.

Sexsmith has recently completed work on a brand new album which is scheduled to be released in early 2023 and is in keeping with his reputation for catchy but graceful melodies, drawing on love, and the trials of everyday life.

Ron Sexsmith will play two sets with an interval. There will be no support.

“He just may be the most fluent balladeer to come along since Tim Hardin or Harry Nilsson.”
— Rolling Stone

In collaboration with Brudenell Presents.
