Leisa Way's critically acclaimed concert Early Morning Rain celebrates the remarkable life and career of legendary Canadian, Gordon Lightfoot.

This concert opened on the stage named after Gord, in his hometown of Orillia, the very week he passed away. In the audience were fans from all over the world, and this concert has now been seen by and enjoyed by some of Gord’s family and band-mates, some of whom played with Leisa’s pianist, Bruce Ley, ‘in the old days’ on television.
This performance includes iconic Lightfoot hits like “Early Morning Rain,” “If You Could Read My Mind,” “Canadian Railroad Trilogy,” “Carefree Highway,” “Sundown,” “For Lovin’ Me,” “Bitter Green”, “Cotton Jenny”, “Did She Mention My Name”, “Ribbon of Darkness,” “Go-Go Round”, and “The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald”, just to name a few.
