A live original music performance by one of Canada’s rising star songwriters.

Sherwood is a singer/songwriter, instrumentalist and storyteller. His music dances the line between folk and pop. He won a 2013 Canadian Folk Music Award for Contemporary Singer of the Year and in 2012 he was named Male Artist of the Year by the International Acoustic Music Awards.

Sherwood is a musician, storyteller and a constant creator. He has penned tunes for many other artists as well as theatre, film and television, but his passion remains primarily for his unique brand of folk/pop music. Starting his music career as an in-demand saxophone player in Toronto, Sherwood soon began looking for an outlet for his poetic side. His unique musicianship combined with his tales of heart-break, victory and adventure quickly gained him recognition as a solid performer, lyricist and player.

His energetic stage presence and honesty truly captures the essence of what has made Ian so popular with his audience.
