September 14th - Ian Reid

To see Ian in performance is to be utterly charmed

 
 

Ian Reid is a singer-songwriter living in his hometown of Rockwood, Ontario. Ian has a passion for a good story and the poignancy of everyday life in small communities. Ian’s songwriting reflects what we can and can’t change and often leaves listeners remarking on the parallels to his lyrics with their own lives.

 

As English writer Tom Marshall put it, “Listening to Ian’s music is like catching up with an old friend; his voice recalls memories we all share, and you just want to be there too.” He “captures moments of truth in bubbles of music that float so easily in your mind” says Irish songwriter Jimmy Bowens. He weaves these little moments into melodies and chords. His music has also been described as “Neil Young crossed with the playfulness of Jonathan Richman.”

 

Elora music events coordinator/promoter, Claire McElhinney, spoke of Ian as ‘the most engaging singer/songwriter since Ron Sexsmith first appeared on the music scene. To see Ian in performance is to be utterly charmed.”
