Pearl Productions Presents: The Lightfoot Band

This is not a tribute act. These are the musicians who made the records.

The Lightfoot Band is Rick Haynes on bass, Barry Keane on drums, Mike Heffernan on keyboards and Bill Bell on guitar — the players who recorded and toured with Gordon Lightfoot for decades — joined by Andy Mauck on vocals and guitar. They perform on Gord's own trademark Martin D-18 and Gibson B-45 guitars.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Edmund Fitzgerald tragedy and of the song it inspired. Alongside it the band plays "If You Could Read My Mind," "Sundown," "Early Morning Rain" and deeper cuts from the catalog, some of which have not been performed live in decades. They have played this music at Carnegie Hall, Royal Albert Hall and on Saturday Night Live, and that history is what gives the show its rare authenticity.

Every performance is threaded with stories from their years alongside Gordon, which is a large part of why people come.

Stay after. Fans get the chance to meet the musicians once the show ends, share their own memories and connect with the legacy first-hand.

Make a night of it. Beer, wine and concessions are available for purchase throughout the evening.

Good to know. Doors at 6 pm for a 7 pm show. The theater is rented for this performance by Pearl Productions.
