Lighthouse burst on the scene in 1969 with an explosive sound that defied all conventions. Their unique blend of rock, jazz and classical influences made them one of the most dynamic concert acts of their time. Between1970 and 1974 they were awarded four Junos, four gold albums and Canada’s first platinum album for Lighthouse Live! while hits such as One Fine Morning, Sunny Days, Hats Off to the Stranger, 1849and Pretty Lady raced to the top of Canadian and International charts. Lighthouse was the first Canadian rock band asked to headline the Newport, Monterey and Boston Globe Jazz Festivals; the first to perform with Symphony Orchestras and the first to collaborate with a Classical Ballet Company. Lighthouse was the only act invited to perform a second night at the legendary 1970 Isle of Wight Festival among acts that included The Who, Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell, Chicago and The Doors.
