Lighthouse burst on the scene in 1969 with an explosive sound that defied all conventions. Its unique blend of rock, jazz and classical influences made it one of the most dynamic concert acts of its time. Between 1970 and 1974 the band was awarded four Junos, four gold albums and Canada’s first platinum album for Lighthouse Live! while hits such as One Fine Morning, Sunny Days, Hats Off to the Stranger, 1849 and Pretty Lady raced to the top of Canadian and International charts.
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 1970 Isle of Wight Festival among acts that included The Who, Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell, Chicago and The Doors.
Lighthouse toured up to 300 days a year performing across North America, Europe and Asia.
After regrouping several times, Lighthouse permanently reunited in 1990. The band continues to record and tour. Recent honours include inductions into the Canadian Songwriter’s Hall of Fame and Canada’s Walk of Fame.
Lighthouse features co-founder Paul Hoffert leading an all-star line-up that includes 1970 original member Russ Little with Dan Clancy, Doug Moore, Marc Ganetakos, Chris Howells, Simon Wallis, Michael Stuart, James Naro and Paul DeLong.
