RON SEXSMITH

Canadian singer-songwriter whose literate, less-is-more approach creates a timeless songbook of tunes that take up residence in the listeners psyche.

Championed by the likes of Elvis Costello, Paul McCartney, John Hiatt and Elton John, he is often described as Leonard Cohen meets Frank Sinatra with hints of Nick Drake and Gram Parsons.
Deep and sensetive, his songs bear bittersweet melodies, beguiling and exquisite phrasings and hauntingly romantic beauty in the form of yearning ballads.
After his critically acclaimed and eponymously-titled debut album, he has released 'Other Songs' and the current 'Whereabouts'.
