Featured Track
Born in Halifax, multi-instrumentalist Ian Sherwood tours the country and the world with lyrics steeped in love, cautionary tales and Canada. He built his audience with a main-stage-energy and a folksy in-the-moment storytelling all blended with his multi-instrumental live-looping show that has been described a “real magic”.
Since his first release in the early 2000’s, Sherwood has marched his unique brand of folk/rock across the country and through 7 records. From Whitehorse to Goose Bay, Edinburgh to Melbourne, he has warmed crowds in festivals, clubs and theatres. He won a Canadian Folk Music Award, an International Folk Music Award, a couple of Music Nova Scotia Awards but really, experiencing Sherwood live is where the “real magic” lives.
Ian’s latest release, Broken Little Heart (recorded in 2024 by award-winning producer Chris Kirby), carries a load of songs about hurricanes, bad choices, reunited friends and of course, love (the good and the bad).
Ian is currently working on his next record set to be released in Fall 2027.

"Everywhere To Go is a record which deserves be heard far and wide. Despite starting out as a saxophonist, acoustic folk is Ian Sherwood’s forte and it’s something he does rather well."

“This latest release from a poetic wordsmith... has struck an egalitarian balance between aiming for the pulse and penetrating the heart.”
