As is so often the case, the greatest musical treats are the hidden gems gently nestled between the commotion. The quiet, introspective debut of Ron Sexsmith, the self-titled 1995 release, slowly became recognised as one of the most poignant, reflective and profound albums of the decade. Canada’s songsmith shows no sign of slowing down, bringing his 18th project to Sunderland’s Firestation on Wednesday 25th February.
A lauded lyricist with a ‘songwriter’s songwriter’ reputation, his latest album ‘Hangover Terrace’ is a heartfelt melding of melody and melancholy. Infectious songwriting and joyous instrumentation show a poet continuing to grow with every release.
Tickets, priced at £29.00 in advance, are available at thefirestation.org.uk.
