Final show in LDAC鈥檚 22/223 season
The last show in the LDAC鈥檚 22/23 season features John McLachlan and Marc Atkinson presenting 鈥楨arly Morning Rain鈥�: The Songs of Gordon Lightfoot. The performance takes place on Wednesday, April 19 at 7:30 p.m. sharp in the LDSS MPR. The show is a journey through the wonderfully crafted songs of one of Canada鈥檚 greatest songwriters, presented by musicians perfectly suited for the journey. John McLachlan has chosen more than twenty songs from Lightfoot鈥檚 first ten, prolific years (1966 through 1976), lovingly arranged in ways that make them familiar to anyone who followed Lightfoot鈥檚 music, but also fresh for those who have never heard them before. John (on rhythm guitar & vocal) performs with Marc (on lead guitar). They feature some of Lightfoot鈥檚 rarely heard gems as well as iconic songs such as: 鈥淚f You Could Read My Mind,鈥� 鈥淭he Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald,鈥� and 鈥淐anadian Railroad Trilogy,鈥� and many more. The evening will feature the artwork of Jerry Koop of Francois Lake. Look for LDAC鈥檚 ads in Lakes District 亚洲天堂.
