Ron Sexsmith
Ron Sexsmith is one of Canada's finest contemporary singer/songwriters who has amassed a
sizable and consistently enthralling body of work since 1995. Known for his insight into
the human heart and a melodic purity (to paraphrase Elvis Costello) unheard since the
heyday of Paul McCartney. As one new fan put it in a comment on iTunes, Sexsmith's music
"wins you over with a silk punch"."Sexsmith's music just gets better,
and his 12th album actually sounds eerily close to a classic Costello: immaculately
well-observed songs delivered with sincerity and panache." ~ DAVE SIMPSON,
