With 2023’s Healing Power, Terra Lightfoot showcases her considerable clout as a pop songsmith, guitarist and vocalist, delivering a dozen stunning tracks that together represent a career high. To describe Lightfoot’s decade-plus musical evolution as astonishing is an understatement. On top of a pair of JUNO nominations and pair of long-list Polaris nods, her marathon tours have touched down in eight countries across four continents (including support slots for Bruce Cockburn, Blue Rodeo, Toad the Wet Sprocket, The Sheepdogs, and Willie Nelson). The set captures the crackling chemistry of the core live trio and Lightfoot’s artistic range is again on full display. Healing Power delivers the peerless pop-rock album that fans have long known she’s always had in her – a prismatic tour de force from the charismatic rocker.
Wicked is coming out and we’re HYPED! Come and relive some of the magic from the Wizard of OZ and the Wicked musical with us!
