Fresh from a four-continent tour that saw her play high-energy concerts across the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, and the United Kingdom, acclaimed Canadian rocker Terra Lightfoot has announced a new run of North American live dates beginning February 16.
With her recently released album New Mistakes (Sonic Unyon), Terra Lightfoot offers up something rare: the kind of genuine document that can only come from a road-tested breed of songwriter and performer. Shot through with the guitarist-vocalist’s powerful, bluesy soul, vivid lyrics and ferocious six-string virtuosity, it’s an unforgettable outing.
From the ground-shaking stomp of “Paradise” and wild-eyed energy of “Pinball King” that open the set to the psychedelic, gospel-tinged album closer “Lonesome Eyes”, the steeltown native’s third record distills her masterful talent to its electrifying essence. It’s Lightfoot’s hungriest and most raw album to date.

Lightfoot will wrap up this run of live shows alongside her recent Australian tourmate, celebrated songwriter William Crighton, reuniting for a string of concerts across Western Canada. Crighton will be showcasing new music from his anticipated second album, due for release in 2018.
