the Year.

On February 1, 2025, hometown favourite Terra Lightfoot returns with her talented trio.

Their energy and charisma onstage together creates musical magic, led by Terra’s

wonderful voice and monster guitar playing. Her latest album Healing Power was recently

long-listed for the prestigious 2024 Polaris Music Prize.
