🎶 Behind The Music: About The Band 🎶
Classic Lightfoot Live is Canada’s premier tribute to the legendary folk-rock icon Gordon Lightfoot.
Featuring an exceptional all-Canadian, multi-instrument band, the show is led by vocalist and guitarist John Stinson, alongside music director and multi-instrumentalist Bob Doidge (Lightfoot’s longtime record producer), bassist Steve Eyers (Lightfoot’s nephew), and lead guitarist Eric Kidd (trained by Red Shea himself).
Founded in 2012 by lead vocalist John Stinson, a longtime Ontario musician, Classic Lightfoot Live has earned widespread acclaim for its authenticity. Stinson is praised for his uncanny vocal resemblance to Lightfoot and his meticulous attention to recreating the original studio recordings, delivering a tribute that is both faithful and deeply moving.
“Others can tell, even if they don’t know how or why John’s renditions come off as being so faithful. I’ve been told before, and many did that night, they can’t believe how well John sings Gord’s tunes.” - John Swartz, SunOnlineMedia.ca - Nov 2023.
