All the way from Canada, Dennis Ellsworth comes to The Met.

One of Canada’s most respected songwriters, he has collaborated with people including Josh Finlayson and Andy Maize (Skydiggers), Gord Downie (The Tragically Hip), Donovan Woods, Rose Cousins, Leeroy Stagger, John Smith, and David Barbe (Drive-by Truckers / Sugar).

Signed to Tonic Records and Cymba Publishing his music has appeared in tv shows for Netflix, CBC, HBO and the award winning film, The New Romantic, and on stage he is absolutely magnetic. His recent albums Modern Hope and Hardcore Freewheelin‘ gained many accolades and have been nominated in the prestigious East Coast Music Awards.

“This is as close to a perfect record as I’ve come across in some time” Doug Gallant, The Guardian.

Rescheduled from Friday 31 January 2026.

Please note that this is now a solo show.
