Blending folk-rock with country and Irish-Newfoundland roots, Sherry Ryan has firmly established herself as one of Atlantic Canada’s most beloved singer-songwriters. On Shout for More, her fifth full-length album, Sherry's unmistakable voice crowns lush arrangements, carrying the soul of her songwriting straight into the listener’s heart. The opening track, “Any Other Way,” features the classic country sounds of Brian Cherwick on piano and Dale Murray’s pedal steel. It's opening line asks the rhetorical question: “Is this what I’m supposed to do—write lonely, heartbroken songs?” The answer, clearly, is yes. The single hit the BDS Top Canadian Country Songs chart shortly after it's release.

Sherry has earned nation-wide attention, extensive radio play, and multiple music awards and nominations. Once hailed as “St. John’s answer to Lucinda Williams,” her rich vocal style has been praised as “so good—so distinct—it’s absolutely unforgettable” (Exclaim!) Her song “Stop the Trains,” from her 2018 release Wreckhouse, was voted Best Song in the Province by The Overcast and has quickly become a part of the Newfoundland canon of legendary songs.

Her live shows are a captivating blend of music and storytelling, reflecting her adventurous, open-hearted spirit and transporting audiences down a path of heartbreak, hope, and even humour—all within the space of a single chorus. She will be accompanied by her harmony singing friend, Peggy Matchim.
