Live Music at The Nick Presents Terra Spencer

Bad ideas, VCRs, crumbling factories, hairy dogs, questionable tattoos… all are fair game for funeral director-turned-singer-songwriter and 2025 Music Nova Scotia Entertainer of the Year, Terra Spencer.

As a fun-loving and fearless solo performer, Terra has played some of Canada’s most renowned festival stages, including the Lunenburg Folk Harbour Festival, where her Maritime waltz “Lunenburg Moon” has become an unofficial anthem. Her fourth album, Sunset, was named the 2024 Penguin Eggs Roots Music Canada Critics’ Choice Album of the Year and earned her ECMA and Canadian Folk Music Award nominations.

With her butterscotch voice, deft fingerstyle guitar, and gospel-charged piano, it’s her onstage ease, spirited spontaneity, and crackling East Coast wit that make each show feel like a knee-to-knee conversation.
