Sundilla welcomes the award-winning Ian Sherwood to town on Friday, February 7. Showtime at the AUUF (450 E. Thach Avenue in Auburn) is 7:30. Advance tickets are just $20 and can be found at Spicer’s Music, Ross House Coffee and online at sundillamusic.com; admission at the door will be $25. For students, the door price is just $15. Free coffee, tea, water and food will be available, and as always the audience is invited to bring their own favorite food or beverage.
With Ian Sherwood you get guitar, saxophone, huge songwriting and a voice that won him a Canadian Folk Music Award for Contemporary Singer; he brings everything and more to every stage he stands on. A born story teller and a constant creator, his music dances the line between folk and pop. He is in a constant state of creative motion, yet his live performances thrive on intimacy. His persona is irresistible and completely destroys fourth walls.
When the humble and hardworking musician takes to the stage, he delivers songs that dance the line between folk and pop; a natural storyteller, he adds much wit to his shows as he engages the audience with his lyrics, musicianship, and his stage presence. Critics say “Born enigmatic performer. Brilliant lyrics. Lightening quick wit. Top notch all the way,” and “… a natural performer, a highly personable guy who entertains as much with his wit and stories as with his songs.” If it sounds like a concert that you don’t want to miss, you’re right!
And if this sounds familiar, you’re also right. Ian was scheduled to play for us a couple of years ago and made it all the way to soundcheck before food poisoning made it impossible for him to continue. So we have been waiting for Ian Sherwood to take the stage for quite a while now, and are thrilled that it’s finally happening!
