Lighthouse was the first Canadian rock band asked to headline the Newport, Monterey and Boston Globe Jazz Festivals; the first to perform with Symphony Orchestras and the first to collaborate with a Classical Ballet Company. Lighthouse was the only act invited to perform a second night at the legendary 1970 Isle of Wight Festival among acts that included The Who, Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell, Chicago and The Doors.
Back home in Toronto, the band’s free concerts at Nathan Phillip’s Square attracted one hundred thousand people. Lighthouse toured up to three hundred days a year performing to standing ovations across North America, Europe and Asia with an emphasis on concerts in the cities, towns and small hamlets of every province across the country. It would be hard to find a person who lived in Canada through the 1970s who didn’t see the group live. They were, and remain, Canada’s band.
After regrouping several times, Lighthouse was permanently reunited in 1990. The band continues to record and tour, performing with the same free-wheeling, hard-driving sound that has kept them on the airwaves and in the hearts of fans for more than 50 years. Recent honours include inductions into the Canadian Songwriters’ Hall of Fame and Canada’s Walk of Fame. The band’s newest release is a vinyl double-album, the Anniversary Edition of One Fine Morning, remixed and remastered, plus a second album of unreleased demos.
Lighthouse features co-founder Paul Hoffert leading an all-star line-up that includes 1970 original member Russ Little, along with Dan Clancy, Doug Moore, Marc Ganetakos, Chris Howells, Simon Wallis, Michael Stuart, Peter Kadar, and Paul DeLong.
