POSTPONED: Eric Elison: The Music of Gordon Lightfoot

Eric Elison always enjoyed and admired the voice and songs of Gordon Lightfoot. In college he was frequently asked to play Gordon Lightfoot’s songs. He was told he “sounds just like Gordon Lightfoot.”

In 2016, at a Folk Alliance Event, he was told by a famous contemporary of Gordon Lightfoot’s that he was “Channeling Gordie.” After recording an album of original music in Nashville, Eric’s Producer, Tom Manche of Studio X, advised Eric that he sounded so much like Gordon Lightfoot, that he should consider performing Gordon Lightfoot Tribute Concerts.

Today, Eric is a touring Gordon Lightfoot Tribute Artist. He calls his show, Celebrating Gordon Lightfoot. In the show, Eric is backed by a five piece band (or Trio) and sings Gordon Lightfoot’s songs just as the beloved Canadian Troubadour did. Eric sings treasured songs like: Carefree Highway, Rainy Day People, If You Could Read My Mind, Sundown, Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, and Beautiful.

Eric is eager to introduce Gordon Lightfoot to younger audiences so that they too can come to appreciate the Legacy of Gordon Lightfoot’s Hall of Fame Career.
