Terra Lighfoot
Canadian roots rocker Terra Lightfoot is a ferocious talent. Her songs tap into the raw emotion of hearts supercharged by love, loneliness and temptation. Her playing melds expert finger-picking and distorted, hook-heavy melodies. And her elemental voice commands attention and awe, whether on slow-burning soul ballads or hard-charging rock numbers.
Terra released her self-titled debut album in 2011; its critically acclaimed follow-up, 2015’s Every Time My Mind Runs Wild, marked the artist’s arrival as a striking songwriter and compelling live performer. 2017 brought two new albums: the orchestral collaboration Live in Concert and her third studio album, New Mistakes, the latter nominated for Adult Alternative Album of the Year at the 2018 JUNO Awards and long-listed for the 2018 Polaris Music Prize.
Shot through with the guitarist-vocalist’s powerful, bluesy soul, vivid lyrics and six-string virtuosity, New Mistakes earned praise from the likes of No Depression, Pop Matters, Guitar Player, and CBC Music. The accompanying 221-date tour touched down in eight countries across four continents. The artist also conceived, created, curated, produced and co-headlined The Longest Road Show, an all-female musical event that showcased emerging talents, an exceptional backing band, and charismatic headliners in several inspiring and unforgettable nights of song.
In October 2020, Terra Lightfoot returned with her much anticipated follow-up, Consider the Speed, recorded by Grammy-winning producer Jay Newland at Memphis’ legendary Royal Studios.
