DESCRIPTION:Paquette Productions presents \n“Legends Show” brings you some of North America’s most exciting performers live on stage. Accompanied by the “Rockin’ Royals Band”\, this show will feature the most incredible Tributes to Hank Williams\, Johnny Cash\, Roy Orbison and Elvis Presley. \nHank Williams: More than a country singer\, Hank Williams was an essential American voice. Recording hit songs such as “Hey Good Lookin’\,” “Your Cheating Heart\,” “I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry\,” and many others\, Hank’s spirit and influence live on in the hearts of fans all around the world. From Chicago\, Jeff Award-winning actor and musician\, Zachary Stevenson brings the “Hillbilly Shakespeare’s songs to life with his heartfelt homage to Williams’ brief but prolific career. \nJohnny Cash: American Lars Pluto was born in Georgia into a family that was also a Gospel/ Bluegrass group. The music of Johnny Cash was always just a part of life growing up…As essential as breathing. Rides in the pickup with grandpa where he’d sing along and hit all those low notes with ease are forever etched into my memory. Wishing so much that I could sing like that\, but I had the squeaky voice of a seven year old. Singing those songs now as a fully grown man feels like reaching across time and shaking hands one more time with my Grandpa. \nRoy Orbison: Jesse Aron\, who hails from the State of Wisconsin\, is recognized as one of USA’s top Roy Orbison Tribute performers. With his effortless voice and uncanny resemblance to Roy\, Jesse will take you back in time with such hits as ‘Crying’\, ‘Pretty Woman’\, ‘Only The Lonely’\, ‘Running Scared’\, and many more of your favourites. \nElvis Presley: Pete Paquette is a multi-award winning Elvis Tribute Artist. Known for captivating his audiences through his incredible voice\, high energy\, charisma\, and playful spontaneity. With hits such as Jailhouse Rock\, Suspicious Minds\, Don’t Be Cruel\, Can’t Help Falling In Love\, and many more\, Pete’s Tribute to the King of Rock and Roll will leave you wanting more.

SUMMARY:The Legacy of Lightfoot: Gordon Lightfoot Tribute

The musicians who have come together to celebrate The Legacy of Lightfoot combine their decades of experience as performers and songwriters to give a meaningful and engaging performance of his enduring catalogue of music. From his days playing the coffee houses in the 1960’s to the mega hits of the 70’s and all the way up to the beautiful music written in his later years\, The Legacy of Lightfoot shines a light on the entirety of Gordon’s masterful career. \nOliver Swain & Dylan Stone are two of British Columbia’s greatly accomplished and experienced songwriters & performers. Following the graceful passing of Gordon Lightfoot in May 2023 musicians Swain & Stone surrounded themselves with a talented cast of supporting musicians and collaborated to organize a concert to celebrate Gordon’s life and music. They found an over whelming response to their show and formed The Legacy Of Lightfoot. Together they share numerous accolades including award wins and nominations at the Juno’s\, Western Canadian Music Awards and Canadian Folk Music Awards. What started as a humble celebration of Lightfoot’s music has now been elevated to a theatre production that is connecting to large audiences and giving the spirit and legacy of Lightfoot’s music a new life & longevity. \nPhoto by O.
