Is Nova Scotian funeral director-turned-songwriter Terra Spencer “the Canadian Carole King”? Sunset, her upcoming fourth solo album, makes a strong case for it. Rich with the ‘70s wood-paneled warmth of the records she discovered in her grandparents’ basement, Sunset will make its debut in fall 2024 with a list of cross-Canada solo tour dates. The album features a host of Canadian stars from coast to coast (Stephen Fearing, Ian Sherwood, and Matt Andersen are on the roster) performing the signature heart-charged songs that have endeared Terra to audiences and fellow artists alike. Fresh from touring with folk icon David Francey after contributing to his Juno-winning album The Breath Between, Terra brings her deft fingerstyle guitar, church bench piano, and butterscotch voice to the stage, mixed with East Coast charm, innate storytelling, and disarming wit.
