SUMMARY:Gordon Lightfoot
DESCRIPTION:"I can't think of any Gordon Lightfoot song I don't like. Every time I hear a song of his\, I wish it would last forever. " – Bob Dylan \n"Gordon Lightfoot has created some of the most beautiful and lasting music of our time." – Kris Kristofferson \nAfter more than 50 active years of hit song making and international album sales well into the multi-millions\, it's safe to say that esteemed singer-songwriter and musician Gordon Lightfoot resides with some very exclusive company atop the list of all-time greats. Lightfoot has recorded 20 albums\, has five Grammy nominations and is a member of the Songwriters Hall of Fame. His song catalog is incredibly vast and includes such immortals as “Early Morning Rain\,” “If You Could Read My Mind\,” “Carefree Highway\,” “Sundown\,” “(That's What You Get) For Lovin Me\,” “The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald\," "Canadian Railroad Trilogy\," "Ribbon Of Darkness\," "Beautiful\," "Song For A Winter's Night" and "Rainy Day People.”   \nAside from his success in writing\, singing and performing his own songs\, Lightfoot has found fortune in having his songs recorded and performed by other great artists including Bob Dylan\, Elvis Presley\, Johnny Cash\, Hank Williams\, Jr.\, Jerry Lee Lewis\, Judy Collins\, Johnny Mathis\, Olivia Newton-John\, Barbra Streisand\, Peter Paul & Mary and more. \nTickets are $44\, $59\, $74 and $89 depending on seat location. For more information\, call the box office at 877.571.SHOW (7469).
