SPOTLIGHT: The Lightfoot Band

Featuring the original band members

Tue Nov 11, 20258:00pm



The Lightfoot Band features the original band members who recorded many memorable hits and toured internationally with the late, great Gordon Lightfoot. Together, they are keeping Gordon’s music alive; playing such hits, as “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 Carter Lancaster on the lead guitars. The Lightfoot Band is proud to introduce Andy Mauck as their lead vocalist. Andy is a student of Gord’s craft and was his personal friend for almost 50 years. He even plays the same guitars as Gord.

Join the band in concert for an authentic experience of The Songs of Gordon Lightfoot. An evening with the original Gordon Lightfoot musicians that recorded in studio and performed on stage with Gordon for decades. Band members will share their history of “stories of the road” and will be available to meet the audience afterwards in the lobby area.

Praise from Gordon Lightfoot 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 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.”
