Ron Sexsmith slates fall tour dates

Ron Sexsmith’s humility is the stuff of legend, and though his records have never quite been hits in the U.S., he’s netted an uncommon critical and fan respect over the years that spills into his intimate live shows.

Following the release of his ninth disc, Exit Strategies of the Soul, which Paste championed as “far more interesting and complex than anything he’s done in years,” the Toronto-based singer-songwriter will hit the road with a new set of U.S. dates, focused on the East with a scattering of dates on the West coast in October.
