Ron Sexsmith is one of Canada’s most accomplished singer-songwriters. Born and bred inSt Catharines near Niagara Falls and currently resident in Stratford, Ontario, he has released17 studio albums to date – Grand Opera Lane (1991), Ron Sexsmith (1995), Other Songs1997), Whereabouts (1999), Blue Boy (2001), Cobblestone Runway (2002), Rarities (2003),Retriever (2004), Destination Unknown (2005, with Don Kerr, released as Sexsmith & Kerr),Time Being (2006), Exit Strategy Of The Soul (2008), Long Player Late Bloomer (2011),Forever Endeavour (2013), Carousel One (2015), The Last Rider (2017), Hermitage (2020),The Vivian Line (2023), and Hangover Terrace (2025). He has collaborated with the likes ofDaniel Lanois, Mitchell Froom, Ane Brun, Tchad Blake, and Bob Rock. His songwritingappears on albums from Rod Stewart, Michael Bublé, k.d. lang, Emmylou Harris, Nick Loweand Feist.
Ron Sexsmith and his band made their last appearance in the UK in November 2024 withhis acclaimed Sexsmith at Sixty tour before Ron extended his stay to record a new album atLondon’s Eastcote Studios with long-time collaborator Martin Terefe. That trip sparked awave of inspiration, including the album’s title, Hangover Terrace, which Ron describes as ametaphor for the emotional residue left by the pandemic years. “It speaks of this hangover Ifeel from the last few years of pandemic and life knocking us around,” he reflects. Thealbum moves away from the rural contentment of his recent work and delves into somethingmore wounded and introspective, shaped by personal loss, strained friendships, and aawer worldview.
Recording in London for the first time since 2007, Ron found creative freedom working withTerefe, whose spontaneous style helped reimagine songs daily. The sessions at Eastcotebecame a revolving door of musical talent—featuring past collaborators like Claes Bjorklundand Ed Harcourt, as well as surprise guests, including guitarist Robbie McIntosh and evenproducer Chris Kimsey. One of Ron’s favourite contributions came from Nora Joy Stephens,a young songwriter from his hometown of Stratford, who lent her voice to the album’sclosing track. The songs explore themes both timely and timeless: the housing crisis inCamelot Towers, grief and gratitude in When Will the Morning Come, and spiritual musingsin Angel on My Shoulder—a kind of counterpoint to his earlier Speaking With the Angel.
Now 61, Ron continues to write with the same introspective honesty that’s marked hiscareer, shaped by new perspectives and life’s ever-changing terrain. He still walks daily tountangle lyrical knots and often composes at whichever instrument is nearby. “I never worryabout repeating myself,” he says. “The 31-year-old Ron couldn’t write these songs.” With 17studio albums under his belt and songs covered by everyone from k.d. lang to Rod Stewart,Sexsmith remains one of Canada’s most cherished songwriters. His memories of childhoodin St. Catharines continue to surface in his music, including new tracks like Cigarette &Cocktail and Burgoyne Woods. Reflecting on it all, he’d offer this to his younger self: “Don’t give up. Be patient. Stay focused on what’s realAge Restrictions:
