Please join us for an evening with UK-born and Canada-based singer/songwriter Martin Kerr.
About this Event

Martin Kerr narrates moments as if they’re happening in real-time. The UK-born and Canada-based singer-songwriter acutely focuses on the little things—the small details of his surroundings, the looks exchanged in passing, and the unspoken intention behind our words. He brings these nuances to the surface by superimposing unshakable singalongs over expressive folk instrumentation and inventive indie production. With millions of streams and thousands of shows under his belt, he magnetically pulls listeners into his embrace on the 2024 EP, After The Apocalypse [Nettwerk Music Group].

Beyond captivating crowds as a street performer in 35 countries, he’s shared the stage with everyone from Sarah McLachlan to Dermot Kennedy and Walk Off The Earth. He catapulted to the Top 10 of the Canadian Album Chart and #2 on the iTunes Canada Chart with his full-length debut, Better Than Brand New. Then “You’re Amazing” buzzed into the Top 5 of the Spotify Viral Chart.

Tickets are $25 general admission. Children under 12 are free. Advance tickets are available here, or if the show is not sold out, you may purchase your tickets at the door before the show.
