Folk music fans are invited to a night of Gordon Lightfoot in Lake Country. 

Local singer-songwriter John Paul Byrne will be paying tribute to the legendary Lightfoot on Oct. 9 at Creekside Theatre. 

According to those who have seen Byrne on stage before, Read My Mind: The Gordon Lightfoot Tribute Show, is like stepping back into the intimate concert halls of the 1970s.

The Lightfoot Tribute Show has been celebrated for its authenticity and emotional depth, drawing comparisons to Lightfootsa国际传媒檚 original performances. 

Steffan Clements, son of the late Terry Clements, who was Lightfootsa国际传媒檚 lead guitarist for over four decades said, sa国际传媒淗e just sang sa国际传媒業f You Could Read My Mindsa国际传媒� better than anybody Isa国际传媒檝e ever heard, he sounded just like him.sa国际传媒�

Clementssa国际传媒� father joined the Lightfoot band as lead guitarist in 1970 and remained with the band until his passing in 2011, playing a pivotal role in shaping the sound of Lightfootsa国际传媒檚 music.

For the die-hard Lightfoot fan, Byrne, spotting a recently-grown moustache, channels sa国际传媒淕ordiesa国际传媒� not only in tone but presence.

Joining Byrne on stage are Ray Roper on lead guitar and keyboards, Roy Kawano on bass, Ray Lee on drums, and Ian Stewart on pedal steel guitar. The five-piece ensemble captures the same spirit and musicality that defined Lightfootsa国际传媒檚 distinctive sound, blending folk, country and rock elements into a resonant performance.
