Info
On November 19, 2026, Sam Shackleton brings his “North American Headline Tour” to Rivoli in Toronto for a night built around voice, story, and acoustic folk playing. Raised across Scotland, from the Borders to the Highlands, Shackleton draws on the oral traditions of his home country while letting Irish and American threads seep in, too. Expect a set where traditional ballads, old-time, country and blues naturally cross paths, with that 1960s folk-revival spirit in the background: direct, song-first, and focused on transmission as much as performance.
Known by some as Sorley the Bard, he moves between personal writing and reworked old songs, keeping an ear on popular narrative forms and the way a melody can carry a whole landscape with it. It’s the kind of show that favors closeness over spectacle, where the details in a lyric matter and the past feels present without being museum-like.
