Canadian singer-songwriter Ron Sexsmith will be touring Australia with his band this November, for the first time in six years. His fourteenth studio album Carousel One is another addition to the impressive body of work of this fine singer songwriter with a splendid voice*.
Sexsmith’s major label debut was in 1995 and since then his standing has grown impressively. Key albums include Cobblestone Runway (2002), Retriever (2004), Time Being (2007), Long Player, Late Bloomer (2011) and Forever Endeavour (2013). In fact, his albums have achieved a strikingly high and consistent rating at allmusic.com.
Sexsmith’s work has also been recognised with three Canadian Juno Awards (Adult songwriter of the year 2014, Songwriter of the year 2005, and Roots & Traditional best album 1998) as well as Genie Awards (Best Achievement in Music – Original Song in 2002 for the song “Love Is Free”). His songs have been covered by Michael Buble, Rod Stewart, Nick Lowe and Feist.
The opportunity to see Ron Sexsmith and his band perform in such intimate clubs will be a treat.
