SUMMARY:Friends & Folk
DESCRIPTION:Friends & Folk Holiday Fundraiser \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOnline Tickets are available now. \n\n\n\nTickets are also available at our ticket partners: Analog Books\, D&N Kitchen\, Cuppers Coffee\, Theoretically Brewing\, and Casa. \n\n\n\n“Leanne’s Still Knowing (Album)\, isn’t just a collection of songs. With its soulful storytelling\, rich instrumentation and analog warmth\, this album confirms Leanne Lightfoot as a vital voice in contemporary folk and roots music. It’s an album that doesn’t just ask to be heard; it asks to be felt. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nStevie Connor – The Sound Cafe” \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe invite you to our event\, a Special Fundraising event\, on December 12th\, 2025\, at McKillop United Church. This event is designed to be a fun pre-Christmas celebration of the Lethbridge Folk Club’s successes this year\, and to build sustainability for our future plans through your generosity.  \n\n\n\nJoin our two headlining guests\, Leanne Lightfoot and Reid & Writes\, as they\, and some surprise special guests\, bring you some of their musical offerings to fill out an evening of pre-holiday spirit\, food and fun.  \n\n\n\nAlso\, please consider bringing a nonperishable food donation for the Interfaith Food Bank to support those in need. \n\n\n\nChannelled through her raw and honest vocals\, Leanne Lightfoot’s songwriting reveals the joys and sorrows of life’s lessons\, and the emotions she knows intimately: matters of the heart\, the call of the land\, and the bonds that bind one to another.  Adeptly and gently she leads listeners on emotional journeys with her song-stories\, some from her life\, some from other’s lives \n\n\n\n\nLightfoot’s credits many influences in her music\, Willy Nelson\, Ian Tyson and Emmylou Harris\, to name a few amongst many. But\, It wasn’t until she first heard a recording of singer/songwriter Iris Dement that something really changed for her. “I had never heard anything like it. It was startling\, I started writing.” \n\n\n\nLiving in the Millarville area\, Alberta\, ten years after releasing the ‘Redtail Flyer’ album\, Leanne has released Still Knowing in February 2025.  A collection of 10 songs.  Bringing her smoke-laced vocals and timeless writing to the forefront\, her new tracks harness the many influences of her early years and temper them with the life lessons that come with the profoundly joyous and sorrowful experiences of a life lived in the pursuit of personal truths\, art\, passion\, and being human. \n\n\n\nA Story Steeped in Sound\, Reid & Writes is a group of seasoned musicians that plays original songs along with tasty covers. \n\n\n\nMusic is heartfelt\, melodic\, rhythmic and dynamic. Various styles make each song unique. Lyrics drawn from personal experience and Alberta landscapes convey universal themes. \n\n\n\nTheir current live lineup is anchored by our principal songwriter\, lead vocals and guitar\, Reid Seibert. On percussion and vocals\, Jason Gibson.  On fiddle and vocals\, Kelsey Jespersen. On bass and vocals\, Bud Haycock.  We are also joined from time to time by our amigo Bill Lawson\, who plays bass\, guitar\, vocals\, and all manner of things! \n\n\n\nTheir live performance lineup can vary slightly from one performance to another\, depending on the style of music being played and the venues where they are performing.  \n\n\n\nDoors open at 6:30 PM \n\n\n\nReturn Policy
