Kamsack is on the list of stops for entertainer Ian Sherwood during his We’re Only Human Tour which started on September 27 in Victoria, B.C. and will wrap up in Leader on November 10.
The Kamsack Arts Council will be presenting the concert at the Playhouse Theatre on November 5.
Don't miss Ian Sherwood this fall as he takes his unforgettable solo show to Saskatchewan and BC, said information on his Facebook page.
A Halifax based singer-songwriter, Sherwood is in a constant state of creative motion, said information on his website. When he's not delivering his signature one-man high energy performance across the country he's often penning tunes for and with other artists and writing music for theatre, film and television.
He is a multi award-winning musician and was named Contemporary Singer of the Year by the 2013 Canadian Folk Music Awards.
“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,” it said. “This time, the deft work of Ledwell’s production brings Sherwood’s songs a new dimension of beauty and depth.”
Guitar, saxophone, huge song writing and a voice that won him a 2013 Canadian Folk Music Award for Contemporary Singer, 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,” the information said.
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 award 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, Fredericton described him as “… a natural performer who entertains as much with his wit and stories as with his songs.”
Tickets for the concert will be available at the door. Anyone wishing to purchase an advance season’s pass for the series of live performances for the 2018-19 season, sponsored by the Kamsack Arts Council, may do so by contacting James Perry or Jack Koreluik or at the Kamsack Liquor Store.
