Ron Sexsmith is a three time Juno award winning songwriter from Ontario, Canada. He
has written and recorded an extensive and acclaimed catalog of studio albums and
original songs, beginning with his self titled debut in 1995. Ron is set to release his
eighteenth studio album in 2025.
In the past few decades as a headlining artist, Ron has performed at some of the most
prestigious venues in the world, such as Massey Hall, Carnegie Hall, London’s Royal
Albert Hall, as well as The London Palladium.
A child of melody, his music has been described as a hybrid of Canadian folk heroes
such as Gordon Lightfoot and Leonard Cohen mingled with that of The Kinks, Beatles
and other British invasion acts of his formative years.
His songs have been covered by many revered artists such as Rod Stewart, kd Lang,
Emmylou Harris, Michael Buble, Feist, Elvis Costello, and Stevie Nicks to name only a
few.
In 2017, Ron penned his first novel ‘Deer Life, A Fairy Tale’ published worldwide by
Dundurn Press Limited. He has written a ‘yet to be released’ complete musical score to
accompany the tale, for his vision to bring the story to the stage as musical theatre or
to adapt to film.
Ron will be making his theatrical composer debut in 2025 with the internationally
renowned Stratford Festival production of ‘As You Like It’ in Stratford, Ontario, Canada.
He currently lives in Perth County, Ontario with his wife, his piano, and his vinyl record
collection and continues to be inspired to write, record and perform live worldwide.
