Canadian star Terra Spencer stops in at Temperance. A butterscotch voice, a wonderful guitarist and pianist, and a comedic genius!

Bad ideas, VCRs, crumbling factories, hairy dogs, questionable tattoos...all are fair game for Nova Scotian funeral director-turned-songwriter Terra Spencer. And the songs are very good ones, judging from the accolades her four albums have received, and from the caliber of her collaborators, which include David Francey, Dave Gunning, and Matt Andersen.

Although her butterscotch voice, deft fingerstyle guitar, and gospel-charged piano make her a formidable musician, it's her onstage ease and crackling wit that make each show feel like a knee-to-knee conversation in a room of 5 or 500.

“The real deal.” - Ron Sexsmith
