The Final Presentation of The Way We Feel: A Tribute to Gordon Lightfoot

The Way We Feel Live at Hugh's Room
Presented with support from Ontario Creates 
Sunday September 28 8:00PM
$60 in advance, $67 at the door

THE WAY WE FEEL was co-founded by singer songwriters Aengus Finnan and Jory Nash, who wanted to draw attention to the vast catalogue of one of Canada's greatest songwriters, Gordon Lightfoot. The goal was to celebrate Lightfoot's work and feature a revolving mix of contemporary Canadian roots, folk, jazz and blues artists.

First performed in 2003, this once-annual celebration called Toronto’s Hugh’s Room home every January for 14 years for multi-night sold out shows. The show has also toured Ontario 5 times playing SRO-concerts in various soft seat theatres across the province.

Over the years, the concert has featured more than 100 different Canadian artists, among them multiple JUNO, ECMA, WCMA, Maple Blues and CFMA-award winners, all bringing their unique musical vision to dozens of classic Lightfoot songs. Gordon Lightfoot himself even joined in and performed onstage at a number of the concerts!

In 2017, The Way We Feel culminated in a 15th anniversary gala concert at Toronto’s Glenn Gould theatre, as well as a special anniversary series of concerts at Hugh's Room Live in 2019.

Current producer and performer Jory Nash is excited and honoured to bring the final performances of The Way We Feel to Hugh's Room and the Rosedale United Church community, to once again celebrate the music of Gordon Lightfoot. We dedicate these shows to him and will remember him always.
This special edition of The Way We Feel will feature a stellar line up of artists including: Matthew Barber, The Young Novelists, Burke Carroll, Lori Cullen, Dala, Jason Fowler, Aengus Finnan, Anne Lindsay, David Matheson, Jory Nash, Suzie Vinnick and David Woodhead with emcee David Newland. Saturday September 28 at Rosedale Center and Sunday September 29 at Hugh's Room.
