Biography

  • Ron Sexsmith (born January 8, 1964) is a critically acclaimed Canadian songwriter and vocalist, known for his candid intimacy and high-profile admirers, hailing from St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada.

    By the age of 17 Sexsmith was playing regularly in a local bar in St. Catharines, Ontario, however, formed his first band three years before that at the age of 14. Raised in the area surrounding Niagara Falls, the singer-songwriter soon made a name for himself as the “One-Man Jukebox” being able to play a host of requests yelled at him from the audience. Following the birth of his first child in 1985, Sexsmith began writing his own songs and shortly after released the cassette “Out of the Duff” with fellow singer-songwriter Claudio. Sexsmith and family subsequently moved to Toronto, where the singer released the full-length cassette “There’s a Way” in 1986, produced by Kurt Swinghammer.

    Following an open mic event, Sexsmith became aquatinted with Bob Wiseman who agreed to produced the singer’s next release. However, with incompatible schedules, the folk and pop singer’s album “Grand Opera Lane” wasn’t released until 1991. Independently released, the record produced the notable song “Speaking with the Angel”, and led Sexsmith to sign a deal to release his self-titled album in 1995. The full-length “Ron Sexsmith” was issued by Interscope/Warner in 1995, produced by Mitchell Froom and Daniel Lanois. Around this time the singer was praised for his songwriting accolades by Elvis Costello, and opened for the music star on his North American tour.

    Sexsmith succeeded his self-titled release with “Other Songs” in 1997 and “Whereabouts” in 1999, after which the singer left Interscope/Warner and signed with Nettwerk Records. The full-length “Cobblestone Runway” arrived in October 2002 featuring Chris Martin on the bonus track “Gold in Them Hills”, after which he released the compilation album “Rarities” on Linus Entertainment. The 2004 album “Retriever” was a more pop influenced album and was dedicated to Elliott Smith and Johnny Cash, both of whom Sexsmith's music is indebted to. “Destination Unknown” followed in 2005 marked by its pure acoustic sound with fellow musician Donn Kerr, after which arrived “Time Being” in 2006, and “Exit Strategy of the Soul” in 2008.

    The respected singer-songwriter’s 10th studio album, “Long Player Late Bloomer”,was produced by heavy metal producer Bob Rock, and issued in early 2011. In 2013 the full-length “Forever Endeavour” earned its release on Cooking Vinyl Records, followed two years later by “Carousel One”.

Live reviews

  • Ron Sexsmith is a Canadian artist who specializes in pop and rock songs. His concerts are really great. Ron Sexsmith plays from his nearly dozen albums extensively. My favorite songs come off his album “Rarities” and “Retriever” and he plays pretty heavily from these. His stage presence and set up is pretty normal with his guitar and microphone up front. Sometimes, there is an additional person or a backup band behind him, but normally the focus is squarely on Ron Sexsmith.

    He has a decent record of interacting with the audience because he has been known to take requests. Sexsmith also routinely wears the same basic outfit for all of his concerts. Usually, his shirt is a flannel variety (or a plain color) with jeans. His demeanor is generally one of pride. When you are there, the songs and the environment provoke a variety of feelings. The songs touch your heart and soul, making feel that the tickets were worth the price of admission.

    I think the only drawback is the limited range of Ron Sexsmith’s tours! In the past year or two, he has pretty much only toured through Ontario in Canada. Those from elsewhere have to make the trek to see him, though I can attest that the trip will definitely be worth it!

    By Anonymous

  • Ron Sexsmith is a Canadian born rock singer and songwriter. His performances are always notably intimate, in line with his style of music, and this was no exception. The crowd was modest but devoted, they were all clear fans and recognised the entire set list. His music is not one for dancing along to, but is meant to be quietly appreciated. His music is emotive and moving, partly through the melodies and partly through the poetic lyrics that Sexsmith weaves. Each song was genuinely moving and heart touching. He performed all of his most well known tracks, from across the decades that he has been making music, and one of the songs I even recognised from The OC, which was a wonderful surprise for me and my nostalgia. ‘Maybe this Christmas’, ‘Secret Heart’, ‘Get in Line’, ‘Gold in Them Hills’ and ‘Strawberry Blonde’ were all sang to the delight of the crowd and were all performed in beautiful arrangement. While these songs were some of the highlights of the show, they were by no means the only good tracks sung as Sexsmith’s whole set list was fantastic and every song moving.

  • Good gig by ron. he was well received by the audience as always. as expected done a lot of the new album and missed some of the older ones totally which was a let down as the new album is just average at best. Excellent when solo on the piano though. The new band members were good and made for a good show.
