A Tribute to Gordon Lightfoot (AB) with John Muirhead (ON) – In Person

Main performer : Picking Up the Pieces: A Tribute to Gordon Lightfoot (AB)

The iconic Gordon Lightfoot is at the epicentre of folk music in Canada and beyond. When John Hewitt started Second Sunset Productions, the first show he wanted to launch was Picking up the Pieces: A Tribute to Gordon Lightfoot, featuring longtime friend and musical collaborator Benjamin Williams. After years studying music and guitar in conservatory, Benjamin amazes audiences with his unique style, impeccable technique and love of Lightfoot. Hosted by John, the show covers Lightfoot classics from Early Morning Rain, The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald and Canadian Railroad Trilogy to later songs and deep album cuts. Backed by Patrick Hughes and Connor Miskiman, the show is both a loving tribute and a reminder of the incandescent legacy of Gordon Lightfoot. http://www.johnhewittmusic.com
