Ron
Sexsmith is a major contemporary writer/artist who has amassed a sizable and
consistently enthralling body of work since making his major label debut in
1995 with his self-titled album on Interscope, followed by such eloquent musical
gems as Other Songs (1997), Blue Boy (2001), Retriever (2004) and Time Being
(2006). Each has its own particular character but is connected to the rest
by the overarching intelligence, impeccable taste and understated emotionality
of this single-minded voice in the pop-cultural wilderness. As one new fan
put it in a comment on iTunes, Sexsmith’s music “wins you over
with a silk punch.” Well put.

This acoustic trio based in Quebec city plays standards of the gipsy jazz repertoire
(à la Django Reinhardt) as well as their arrangements of hits of the
80'. Their young history as a band has already seen them opening for the french
guitarist Patrick Saussois and playing in three international music festivals
(including ten nights at the Montreal International Jazz Festival), as well
as playing live on several television and radio shows.
