Joining the band this evening are two special guests. Nominated for a Grammy for Best Male Vocal, winner of a Grammy, winner of five Juno Awards, the Harold Moon Award, and inducted into the venerated Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame Award, Dan Hill, whose voice is “smooth softness, with a light warmth,” is an international music industry legend and one of Canada’s most distinguished, authentic, and multi-talented artists. Intelligent and thought-provoking, Dan is known for his heartfelt sensibility on the massive international hit Sometimes When We Touch, recognized as one of the Top 100 Songs of the Century and one of Top 100 Most Played Songs of All Time.
Dreamer, visionary, and songwriter extraordinaire Andy Kim was recently awarded the country’s top industry honours including the Canadian Music Industry Hall of Fame, a star on Canada’s Walk of Fame and the Order of Canada. In 1970, the very first JUNO Award ever given out was to Andy for Male Vocalist of the Year. Andy is a member of Songwriters Hall of Fame, was inducted into Billboard’s Hit Parade Hall of Fame, and in 2017, for the second time in their 70-year history, SOCAN honoured him with their Cultural Impact Award. Over his epic career, the Sugar, Sugar co-writer has sold over 30 million records and clocked over half a billion streams online.
“He sounds just like the voice on all of the records… with your eyes closed, you’d think you were in the room with Gord.” – ORILLIA PACKET AND TIMES
“The talent of Dan’s voice really seems to know how to address a romantic subject matter into a spectacular, easy listening piece of music that turns them into timeless classics.” – CLASSIC ROCK HISTORY
“Light-foot’s music really does reflect what it means to be Canadian. His lyrics tell stories – his stories, our stories. They reach out and touch audiences in deep emotional ways.” – JOHN STINSON
