NewRider Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Anyone familiar with his music or seen the dude live? He's playing Brantford on Saturday and I was thinking of taking the old lady out on the town to see him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau. Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Go, Ron puts on a fantastic show in my opinion. You'll probally enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phishtaper Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Ive lost count of how many times Ive seen him. One of the GREATEST singer-songwriters in Canadian history!! No overstatement. Very low-key performer, but you and the old lady will love him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 yup, definitely go if you can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Very low-key performer, but you and the old lady will love him.I was gonna say the same thing but if he's with full band then they should rock out a little. He's a very likeable performer. You should go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 He is great, one of my fav songwriters- but beware this is no DbT or tHS....... And some people complain he sounds like Kermit from time to time. He usually puts on an awesome show, telling stories and taking many requests from the audience.Call out for Dandelion Wine, you'll get a really nice story about his mom......

bokonon Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I wish my last name was Sexsmith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ersh Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 He's great. We've got to share the stage with him a bunch of times. And his band is killer... Don Kerr on drums, Tim Bovaconti on guitar and Jason Mercer on bass - all wizards of their trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaimoe Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 It's so strange watching old Blue Rodeo videos and seeing Ron playing bass. He's done alright for himself since leaving, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewRider Posted January 17, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Ron played bass for Blue Rodeo? Please elaborate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I am wrong. I know he worked with Bob Wiseman. Damn, a young Sexsmith looks like Bazil Donovan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bokonon Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I think I'm going to legally change my name to Lexi Sexsmith, I've been thinking it over all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freak By Night Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I've given Ron Sexsmith's music a chance, and found it was akin to watching paint dry.Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to go line up for Def Leppard tickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phishtaper Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Ive always like Other Songs, mostly because Strawberry Blonde and Clown in Broad Daylight are my two favourite Ron songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Ive always like Other Songs, mostly because Strawberry Blonde and Clown in Broad Daylight are my two favourite Ron songs.

Third row seats pretty much mean I'm getting laid that night right?well' date=' Ron's a friendly guy, but not [i']that friendly ...
