Summer 2026 at the Chester Playhouse kicks off with one of Canada’s most accomplished singer-songwriters, Ron Sexsmith.Ron Sexsmith is a three-time Juno award-winning songwriter from Ontario, Canada. He has written and recorded an extensive and acclaimed catalog of studio albums and original songs, beginning with his self-titled debut in 1995. Ron released his eighteenth studio album in August 2025.
In the past few decades as a headlining artist, Ron has performed at some of the most prestigious venues in the world, such as Massey Hall, Carnegie Hall, London’s Royal Albert Hall, as well as The London Palladium. A child of melody, his music has been described as a hybrid of Canadian folk heroes such as Gordon Lightfoot and Leonard Cohen mingled with that of The Kinks, Beatles and other British invasion acts of his formative years. His songs have been covered by many revered artists such as Rod Stewart, k.d. Lang, Emmylou Harris, Michael Buble, Feist, Elvis Costello, and Stevie Nicks to name only a few.
His most recent album, Hangover Terrace, debuted last summer with critics raving:
“ …the right kind of record to make us both giddy and guilty. Sexsmith’s craft has always celebrated a shimmering midpoint between folky singer/songwriter introspection and bright pop effervescence, and this album is no different. Indeed, if anything he hits a new peak here.” – The Big Take Over.
Join us for a very intimate solo concert with a beloved Canadian troubadour!
