Live Music: Lighthouse

Empire Theatre 321 Front Street, Belleville

Lighthouse burst on the scene in 1969, with an explosive sound that defied all conventions.
Back home in Toronto, their free concerts at Nathan Phillip’s Square attracted up to one hundred thousand people. From 1970 to 1976 Lighthouse toured three hundred days a year across North America with an emphasis on Canadian concerts in the cities, towns and small hamlets of every province.
Reunited in 1990, Lighthouse continues to tour regularly featuring original co-founder Paul Hoffert leading an all-star line-up that includes original member Russ Little with Chris Howells, Simon Wallis, Michael Stuart, Doug Moore, Don Paulton, Paul DeLong, Marc Ganetakos, James Naro and dynamic lead vocalist Dan Clancy.
