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 Lightfoot含羞草研究社檚 original performances. 

Steffan Clements, son of the late Terry Clements, who was Lightfoot含羞草研究社檚 lead guitarist for over four decades said, 含羞草研究社淗e just sang 含羞草研究社業f You Could Read My Mind含羞草研究社� better than anybody I含羞草研究社檝e ever heard, he sounded just like him.含羞草研究社�

Clements含羞草研究社� 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 Lightfoot含羞草研究社檚 music.

For the die-hard Lightfoot fan, Byrne, spotting a recently-grown moustache, channels 含羞草研究社淕ordie含羞草研究社� 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 Lightfoot含羞草研究社檚 distinctive sound, blending folk, country and rock elements into a resonant performance.
