Local singer-songwriter John Paul Byrne pays tribute to the legendary Gordon Lightfoot in his much-lauded “If You Could Read My Mind: The Gordon Lightfoot Tribute Show.” Byrne, known for his uncanny ability to channel Lightfoot’s rich baritone and poignant storytelling, promises an experience that feels like stepping back into the intimate concert halls of the 1970s. The editor & publisher of Okanagan Life Magazine for 30 years played 70 Lightfoot Shows last year – this is truly a must see concert.
“Yes GORDON is my life and you have the timing the vocal characteristics as close as humanly possible this is scary good.”
