Award winning songwriter Ian Sherwood mixes catchy melodies and heart-breaking stories with intricate guitar loops, saxophones and pop/rock/jazz grooves to create music that has been described as “traditional singer/songwriter style at its essence.”
Sherwood is equally at home in front of a large festival audience or a quiet house concert. His energetic stage show and honest presentation have quickly gained him recognition as a solid performer, lyricist and player and garnered him Music Nova Scotia’s 2008 Musician of the Year award.
The Hupman Brothers play as if one, knowing where the music is heading and how to make it their own. Most often, Scott offers textured and percussive guitar and bass work and Ryan performs exciting and intricate guitar solos. The lead vocals are richly expressive and enhanced by clear and evocative back-up harmonies.
Coco Love Alcorn sings Joyful Soul; a sparkling alloy of jazz, soul and contemporary folk.
Her voice is hailed as “extraordinary” (Vancouver Province), “beautiful” (Canadian Musician) and “stunning” (Star Phoenix). As a performer she is always in the moment; playful and witty, joyful and genuine, soulful and compelling.
Some sweet career highlights have been; a US tour opening for Ani DiFranco, a longstanding touring and recording relationship with 54.40 and multiple song placements on popular American TV shows such as The Dead Zone (usa Network) and The L Word (Showtime).
Tickets for this show are $15, members $14, and students $10.
