Gordon Meredith Lightfoot, CC, OOnt
November 17, 1938 – May 1, 2023
Words on a website would not begin to scratch the surface of what Gordon’s songwrting and musicianship meant, and will forever mean: to the Hugh’s Room Live community of artists and audiences, to Canada, and to the world. He told our stories, universal stories, about our land, our people and ourselves. We ask that you share your stories about Gordon. Performances, encounters or just what his music and songs meant to you. We will assemble them and share them here on the Hugh’s Room Live website and other platforms over the coming weeks. Please email us at info@hughsroomlive.com.
