Triple Juno Award winner, Ron Sexsmith, one of Canada’s most accomplished singer-songwriters, will make a more-than welcome return to tour NZ & Australia with his band in April 2026. The tour is presented by DRW Entertainment and Gaynor Crawford.
Eleven years on from his last visit Down Under, his fans will once again be able to marvel at the sublime songcraft and vocal delivery he is famed for.
Known for his insightful lyrics and distinctive voice, Sexsmith has collaborated with the likes of Daniel Lanois, Mitchell Froom, Ane Brun, Tchad Blake, and Bob Rock. His songwriting appears on albums from Rod Stewart, k.d. Lang, Nick Lowe, Emmylou Harris, Fiest and Michael Bublé. He has built a steadfast reputation with critics and some of his songwriting heroes (Paul McCartney, Elton John, Ray Davies, John Prine, Gordon Lightfoot, Leonard Cohen, Elvis Costello, Chris Martin to name just a few) for his characteristically honest, sensitive and enduring approach to the songwriter craft which over the years has evolved into a unique and timeless blend of classic pop, contemporary folk and roots-rock idioms.
Cooking Vinyl released Sexsmith’s new album “Hangover Terrace,” August 29, 2025. The album title is a play on Hanover Terrace, the name of which tickled the fancy of Sexsmith’s drummer Don Kerr. He labelled it “Hangover Terrace”- “a lightbulb moment” for Sexsmith who snagged it for the title. The record produced by Martin Terefe includes 14 songs, marks a departure from his recent work.
“My last few albums actually had a feeling of rural contentment, “Hangover Terrace” feels more wounded to me,” says Sexsmith… “There’s some self-examination going on and a desire to know who my real friends are. It also deals with the passing of time and how many more things become dear.”
