AMPLIFY: The Original Lightfoot Band
In Concert - Stories from the Road
The Original Lightfoot Band features the band members who toured internationally and recorded Gordon Lightfoot’s music for over four decades. Together, they created many memorable hits, including “Sundown”, “Carefree Highway”, “the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”, “Beautiful”, “Early Morning Rain”, as well as some deeper cuts, not heard live for decades.
The band includes veterans Rick Haynes on bass, Barry Keane on drums and percussion, Mike Heffernan on keyboards and Bill Bell on lead guitar. Vocalist Andy Mauck followed the band and officially joined after Gord passed away. A friend for almost 50 years, Gord encouraged him to play the same guitars and keep his music alive!
Join the band in concert for an authentic experience of live music and stories from the road. Band members will share their history with Gordon Lightfoot and reveal professional highlights from their careers. They’ll be available to meet the audience afterwards in the lobby area.
★★★★★ Praise from fans…
“I loved the concert and hearing all of Gord’s great songs again, so well performed. The highlight that has stayed with me all day today was hearing the Canadian Railroad Trilogy live again after so many years. And it was great to be able to say hello to some of the band members afterward.”
“Tonight’s performance by The Original Lightfoot Band was absolutely mind-blowing. It was the nicest walk down memory lane, Gordon would be proud. The Legend Lives On.”
“What a wonderful night this was! The show was fantastic, and the band was so kind to take the time to speak with the audience afterwards. Andy is a revelation and immediately inhabits Gordon’s music from the first song — it feels like a seamless transition, the music and the spirit live on.”
