ESTEVAN - An upcoming concert at the Orpheum Theatre in Estevan will pay tribute to a Canadian music legend.
Saskatchewan musician Jack Semple will bring his Tribute to Gordon Lightfoot show to the Orpheum on Feb. 17, starting at 7:30 p.m. Semple is no stranger to local music fans, having performed in the Energy City on numerous occasions, including some shows at the Orpheum.
"Jack Semple, with his mesmerizing guitar skills and emotive vocals, channels the essence of the legendary Canadian folk icon Gordon Lightfoot," the Orpheum said in a Facebook post.
The Orpheum said Semple takes the audience on a musical journey through Lightfoot’s greatest hits, such as If You Could Read My Mind, Sundown and The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.
"Each note and every word resonate with a passion and authenticity that made Lightfoot’s music timeless. Whether you’re a long-time fan of Gordon Lightfoot or discovering his music for the first time, this tribute concert promises an evening of pure enchantment."
Lightfoot died last May at the age of 84. The Canadian musician found international success in folk, folk-rock and country music. He was also an acclaimed songwriter whose music was recorded by leading musicians.
Tickets are $45 each and available at Henders Drugs and at the Orpheum Theatre by calling 306-634-3409.
