Sherry Ryan

On Shout for More, her fifth full-length album, Sherry Ryan charts a new chapter in her life with a luminous collection of songs that glows like stained glass. Blending folk-pop sensibility with country and Irish-Newfoundland roots, Sherry affirms her place as one of Atlantic Canada’s best-loved singer-songwriters. Once named “St. John’s answer to Lucinda Williams” and compared to John Prine for “reeling you in with her heartfelt stories and a hint of humour,” Sherry’s rich vocal style is described as “absolutely unforgettable” (Exclaim!). Her 2018 release, Wreckhouse, included the celebrated single “Stop the Trains,” about her father’s 1950s railway encounter with the infamous Wreckhouse winds. The song has quickly become a part of the Newfoundland canon of legendary songs. Her show captures her adventurous and open-hearted spirit and her songs transport you to places and experiences that make you feel like you’re on the journey with her.
