Summer Side of Life:
A Gordon Lightfoot Tribute Concert
Featuring musical guests Sue & Dwight
Popular folk singing duo Sue and Dwight return to the Miles Nadal JCC this spring! This concert pays tribute to Canadian music legend Gordon Lightfoot, known for his rich baritone voice, tender ballads, and gift for melodic songwriting. This folksy troubadour sang of loneliness, troubled relationships, the itch to roam, and the majesty of the Canadian landscape. Enjoy such iconic hits as If You Could Read My Mind, Sundown, Carefree Highway and Rainy Day People. You know you’re going to want to sing along!
Thursday June 5
1:00-2:30pm
Admission: $12
Born too late to be part of the 1960’s folk revival, Winnipeg-born, Toronto-based singer songwriters Sue and Dwight embody the musical spirit of that time. Their songs about the prairies, life in the big city, and travels in East Africa impart human stories of peace, courage, and social justice in their own unique Canadiana style. Sue and Dwight have released three CDs of their own songs and are fixtures on the Toronto Roots music scene. In 2012, Sue and Dwight developed the musical show “Where Have All the Folk Songs Gone”, a 1960′s Folk Revival tribute show that transported audiences back to the coffeehouses of that special time and that era of hope. During the pandemic, they continued bringing their music to audiences virtually through their weekly Wednesday Living Room Live. A crowd favourite at the JCC for years, Sue & Dwight performed the sold-out concerts: Singing for Social Change: Women Musicians of the 1960s and 70s; The Greatest Hits of Peter, Paul and Mary ; Leonard Cohen & Bob Dylan: The Two Jewish Folk Poets and last year’s Give Peace a Chance. We are delighted to welcome them back to our building this spring! For more information, visit https://sueanddwight.com/bio
