SPINCOUNT ARTIST OF THE WEEK: IAN SHERWOOD
2011 is promising to be quite a year for Ian Sherwood,a singer-songwriter with a lot to celebrate. The release of his third CD, And Now The Fun Begins, is generating a lot of buzz, including an ECMA nomination for Konica Minolta Male Solo Recording of the Year. Sherwood’s unique blend of roots, R and B and a kind of lyrical folk rock, coloured with his incredible storytelling skills, create a sound and style that simply can’t be pigeonholed.
Much like the artist. His heart is in the stories he creates through his writing, but his versatility means he’s in demand as a session musician playing sax, guitar and providing background vocals, as well as arranging and creating for other musicians. All these contributed to his win, for the second time, as Music Nova Scotia’s Musician of the Year
Adding to the eventful potential for 2011: his recent engagement to Halifax based actress Genevieve Steele, who is expecting the couple’s first child in April. That lucky baby is already showing signs of enjoying the musical life: at a house concert recently Genevieve is reported as saying he/she ...”didn’t stop dancing all night!”
