Terra Lightfoot

Terra Lightfoot is a Canadian musician and singer-songwriter from Hamilton, Ontario who has released two albums with the independent music label Sonic Unyon Recording Company and is distributed by Sony Music. Recordings from her 2015 album are heard on terrestrial and satellite radio channels in North America. She performs in a folk and roots rock style known for bold vocals and electric guitar riffs.

Lightfoot was raised in Waterdown, Ontario, a rural community in the northern part of Hamilton. As a young woman she attended McMaster University.

In the early 2010s Lightfoot was a member of the Dinner Belles, a group of country-folk performers from Hamilton. She performed as a guitarist and vocalist for the group's first and only studio album in 2014, though was unconnected to the group's earlier off-label album and live performances.

With the band's indie music label, Sonic Unyon, she worked on her second solo album Every Time My Mind Runs Wild concurrent with the Dinner Belles album The River And The Willow, both released in 2014.

Her first solo album, self-titled and released in 2011, was described as "subdued", with compositions characteristic of a modern folk singer-songwriter.

Her second solo album was in collaboration with indie rockers Gus van Go, Werner F, and Liam O'Neil, who are known for their performances with the group The Stills. The album's producers, van Go and F, were credited with bringing a more catchy, hook-heavy, power pop style.

Lightfoot has a multi-octave mezzo-soprano singing voice that has been compared to that of Joan Jett and Dusty Springfield. Her electric guitar style has been described as similar to John Fogerty and Van Morrison. The songs for which Lightfoot is best known are described as bluesy-rock power ballads.
