An Evening with Terra Spencer and Ian Sherwood @ The Astor Theatre
Feb 1 @ 7:30 pm

We are thrilled that Terra Spencer and Ian Sherwood, two of Nova Scotia’s finest songwriters and storytellers, will be performing together on The Astor stage on February 1st for a night to remember.

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.”

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 story teller 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.
