Karen Hilfman Millson has interviewed Gordon Lightfoot publically four times over the past seven years and has had hours of one-on-one conversations with Lightfoot as he has reflected on his life. One thing is clear - Orillia played a significant role in the development of Lightfoot’s storytelling gift that honours the place and poetry of our lives. Prior to the Gordon Lightfoot Tribute Band taking to the Chautauqua Stage at 2:30pm on Peter St in celebration of his music, Karen will share a few of her favourite stories from her time spent with Orillia’s folk legend.
Gordon Lightfoot is synonymous with culture in Orillia. The John Stinson Band will pay tribute to his hometown roots with a live performance on Peter St, just minutes away from where the legendary singer-songwriter-musician started his career.
