Music critic Robert Christgau once referred to Ferron apologetically as a “new Dylan.” Yes, there may be too many new Dylans and many years have passed, but Ferron continues to contribute her smokey, confessional tunes to the ever-expanding catalog of singer-songwriter music.

Ferron never disappoints her fans in concert. Her lyrics are powerful. Her presence is commanding. Music critics from all across the continent have raved about this Canadian-born singer-songwriter. The New York Times calls her “startlingly intimate, honest and inspiring.” Rolling Stone said of Ferron’s highly regarded “Shadows on a Dime” album: “Ferron writes of love with the relentless introspection of Leonard Cohen, and, as with classic Bob Dylan, her songs’ tough, questioning attitude sometimes gives way to an unexpected sweetness. . . the songs are so full of emotional incidents that you wind up living with them awhile and, eventually, learning them by heart.”

Ferron’s latest recording, “Turning into Beautiful,” is simple and sublime. These songs are all about things that have happened in her life. Experiences are rendered with such emotional and artistic perfection that they become mirrors of her soul. Come see her in an intimate setting.
