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: what a perfect venue our living room shall be! But we already know this - having hosted Ian on several occasions in the past. This time round he has songs from a brand new record to share. And we can't wait to hear them! Hot off the press - Broken Little Heart - could solve all of your 'what to gift so-and-so' dilemmas this holiday season. Whether it's a theatre show or large festival stage, his persona is irresistible and completely destroys fourth walls. NOTE: As the name suggests, Patchwork is a house concert series, i.e. we present concerts in our living room. For all shows, the artist takes the door. We provide the stage, chairs and hopefully a room filled with eager listeners. Snacks and soft drinks will be offered; otherwise it is BYOB. Bringing music-loving-friends and visiting family members is strongly encouraged. Information Source: Patchwork House Concerts | eventbrite
