Coco has toured across Canada many times. Most recently in support of her brand new
album, PLAY. A skip hop and a jump through Coco's favourite genres, PLAY is a collection of
free spirited songs delivered with acoustic intimacy. It was recorded and produced at home
with her new daughter Ellie as the muse.
Her 2009 album Joyful (Sound of Pop / Fontana North) has been a hit with fans and industry
alike. Indie radio stations all across Canada have shown good support spinning many of the
tracks with 'Intellectual Boys' often charting. 'Revolution' has become a favourite with many
CBC hosts and was awarded a videofact grant. 'I Got A Bicycle' topped the charts at a jazz
station in Quebec City and has helped to garner strong support for Coco in the cycling
community. She shared the bill with Molly Johnson at the 2010 Toronto Bike Union Gala and
also graced the cover of Momentum magazine in the spring of that year.
Ian Sherwood "Everywhere To Go" is Ian Sherwood's latest studio creation. Considered to be
his best to date, it is chalk-full of instantly appealing hooks and singable choruses while sitting
comfortably in Sherwood's signature style of imaginative, narrative writing.
Sherwood is a musician, story teller and a constant creator. He has penned tunes for many
other artists as well as for theatre, film and television. He was named Contemporary Singer of
the Year by the 2013 Canadian Folk Music Awards, Best Male Artist of the Year by the 2012

performer who entertains as much with his wit and stories as with his songs.”
“Born enigmatic performer. Brilliant lyrics. Lightening quick wit. Top notch all the way.”
