Roch Voisine « The Lightfoot Sessions »

Roch Voisine brings The Lightfoot Sessions to Casino Nova Scotia in Halifax on November 26, 2026. A Canadian Acadian singer-songwriter who moves with ease between folk, pop and country, Voisine revisits Gordon Lightfoot’s songbook alongside his own repertoire in a close-up, story-driven set. He threads memories and anecdotes between the songs, tracing how Lightfoot’s writing shaped his ear for plainspoken lyrics, open-road imagery and uncluttered melodies, from his early ballads to later Americana projects.

The concert plays like a conversation between two catalogues. Lightfoot classics are reimagined with Voisine’s grain and phrasing, then mirrored by pieces from his discography that answer them in tone and theme. Acoustic guitars lead the way, with spare arrangements, warm harmonies and a few nods to his bilingual path. Voisine lets the narrative guide the pacing, shifting from tender ballads to steady folk rhythms, keeping the focus on the contours of the songs and the stories that surround them. More homage than imitation, The Lightfoot Sessions invites the audience into the workshop of a songwriter paying respect while opening his own notebooks.
