DESCRIPTION

EDITORIAL REVIEWS
Terra Lightfoot has been performing as a solo artist since 2008. She plays a complicated brand of folky indie rock. Her voice is hauntingly beautiful, following melodies that soar over incendiary chords. With roots based in math rock bands and an addiction to blues pioneers like Robert Johnson, her music fuses calculated riffs and rhythms with gracefulmelodies and a voice that leaves you breathless. Lightfoot is a true songwriter. Her lyrics are honest and vulnerable. She sings everything she thinks about and plays the guitar with careful intention. She has a dynamic live show which can include a full backing band including pedal steel and organ, electronic loops or a stripped down set with an acoustic guitar.

With a creation grant from the Ontario Arts Council, Lightfoot began making her debut record on Toronto Island with acclaimed engineer Dale Morningstar (Godspeed You Black Emperor!, Gord Downie, Thrush Hermit) in the spring of 2009. The album, a self-titled affair, includes the members of Huron on pedal steel, piano, organ, and bass, along with Peter Hall from a Northern Chorus co-producing, playing drums, and singing. A Northern Chorus cellist Alex McMaster also guested on the record, playing cello.

REVIEW
''There's no mistaking the passion and conviction in this music, a modern folk style that combines soul-stirring laments, poignant lyrics, and songwriting grounded in warm humanism. Inhabiting a unique place, very few acoustic performers can glow so prettily." --Lonely Vagabond
