Two of Nova Scotia’s finest songwriters and storytellers, Terra Spencer & Ian Sherwood, bring their intoxicating blend of musical genius and whimsical storytelling to the Chester Playhouse.
.
Raised on the mud banks of the Avon River, award-winning Nova Scotian funeral director-turned-songwriter Terra Spencer charms audiences with her deft guitar, gospel piano, butterscotch voice, crackling wit, and wood-paneled warmth. Her startlingly intimate songs have caught the eye of collaborators including David Francey, Ben Caplan, and Matt Andersen. Every show is a knee-to-knee conversation with a natural storyteller. In the words of Ron Sexsmith, Terra Spencer is “The real deal.”
.
With guitar, saxophone, huge songwriting, and a voice that won him a Canadian Folk Music Award for Contemporary Singer, Ian Sherwood brings The Light to every stage he stands on. A born storyteller and a constant creator, his music dances the line between folk and pop. His live performances thrive on intimacy. Whether it’s a theatre show or large festival stage, his persona is irresistible and completely destroys fourth walls.
.
Join us for an evening of deeply felt, beautifully delivered folk music, by two of Nova Scotia’s most talented rising stars!
