Ron Sexsmith comes to Kings Playhouse on Sept 9, 2027! Ron is a three-time Juno Award-winning songwriter from Ontario, Canada. He has written and recorded an extensive and acclaimed catalogue 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, including Massey Hall, Carnegie Hall, London's Royal Albert Hall, and 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 the influence of The Kinks, The Beatles, and other British Invasion acts from his formative years.

His songs have been covered by many revered artists, including Rod Stewart, k.d. lang, Emmylou Harris, Michael Bublé, Feist, Elvis Costello, and Stevie Nicks, to name just a few.

In 2017, Ron penned his first novel, Deer Life: A Fairy Tale, published worldwide by Dundurn Press Limited. He has also written a complete musical score to accompany the tale, with the vision of bringing the story to the stage as a musical or adapting it for film.

Ron made his theatrical composer debut in 2025 with the internationally renowned Stratford Festival production of As You Like It in Stratford, Ontario.

He currently lives in Perth County, Ontario, with his wife, his piano, and his vinyl record collection, and continues to be inspired to write, record, and perform live around the world.
