Gordon Lightfoot 

At the Magnificent Hershey Theatre

March 25, 2011

DON'T MISS GORDON LIGHTFOOT

“The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down…” are lyrics from one of his most famous ballads, but they just as easily could be used to describe the phenomenal career of iconic singer-songwriter, Gordon Lightfoot. On Friday, March 25, 2011 Lightfoot will perform at the Hershey Theatre. Tickets for the Hershey Theatre performance go on-sale to the public on Friday, January 14, 2011 at 10 AM. 

Born November 17, 1938 in Orillia, Ontario Gordon Lightfoot studied at Los Angeles’ Westlake College of Music. He returned to Canada in the early 1960s and began performing at the “Riverboat” during Toronto's fabled folk scene. In 1966, his debut album Lightfoot! was released. Tracks such as For Lovin' Me, Early Mornin' Rain, Steel Rail Blues and Ribbon of Darkness brought him international recognition as a songwriter. Cover versions of his songs were recorded by artists such as Bob Dylan, Johnny Cash and Elvis Presley, until 1971 when his own version of  If You Could Read My Mind became a Top Ten hit. In 1974, his classic single, Sundown, went to No.1 on the American charts, followed two years later by The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald, inspired by a Newsweek magazine article; it reached No. 2 on the U.S. Billboard charts. By the 1990s he was mostly touring, giving just fifty concerts a year by 1998, mainly in North America, while he released two albums in the period. In 2004, he released his 20th album Harmony, and appeared as a featured guest on Canadian Idol.

Lightfoot’s live performances never disappoint the legions of devoted fans who consistently pack concert halls for a chance to hear the beloved troubadour deliver the time-defying songs that have earned him an international reputation as one of the most anticipated live performers. During his illustrious career he has won 15 Juno Awards and been nominated for 5 Grammy Awards. He was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1986 and the Canadian Country Music Hall Of Fame in 2001. In May 2003 was made a Companion of the Order of Canada and is also a member of the Order of Ontario, and in 2004 was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame.

LEWIS BLACK HERE FEBRUARY 20th

LEWIS BLACK COMING
TO HERSHEY THEATRE
Date: February 20, 2010
Time: 8:00 PM

Comedian Lewis Black is returning--by popular demand--to Hershey Theatre.

Mr. Black is one of America's most prolific, popular performers working today. According to Hershey Theatre's Web site, "He executes a brilliant trifecta as a stand-up comic, actor and author."

He performs more than 200 nights out of 365 a year. His audiences throughout Europe, New Zeland, Canada and the USA regularly sell out. He is one of the few performers, in fact, to sell out multiple theatres including Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Brooks Atkinson Theatre, New York City Center, the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, and Hershey Theatre!

So...don't be left out, go to the Hershey Theatre Web site today and order tickets:

http://www.hersheytheatre.com/performances_events/details.php?id=10516

It has been said, "Lewis' live performances provide a cathartic release of anger and disillusionment for his audience. Lewis yells so they don't have to. A passionate performer who is more a mad optimist than a mean-spirited curmudgeon, he has perfected expressing what the rest of us cannot say in polite company. Lewis is the rare comic who can cause an audience to laugh themselves into incontinence while making compelling points about the absurdity of our world."

We are looking forward to Mr. Black's performance, it will give us all a chance to shed off "cabin fever" due to being snowed in so much here of late. We are already getting calls here at the Inn from folks looking to stay the weekend at Annville Inn and punctuate their experience here by driving a few short miles into Hershey to see Mr. Black at Hershey Theatre. Do book today, Mr. Black sells out very quickly. Rosalie can help you with all your arrangements!

Back to Snow...Our previous blog entry focused on the snow storm last week. This week's near-blizzard on top of last week's has left the entire landscape looking as if it were drenched in whipped topping, applied luxuriously around the countryside, flocking trees, gracing the landscape with gentle, gliding lines of snow crests and peaks. Stunningly beautiful. We call our winter season through April, "Annville Inn's Secret Season." Come enjoy gourmet candlelit breakfasts, our theatre with a 68" high definition screen, the game room and pool table room, and this winter: lounging in the conservatory with its wood burning fireplace, sitting in over sized wooden rockers, surrounded on three sides by glass walls 9' high, gazing out over the snow scape.
If you--like us--enjoy games, one of our favorite activities is sitting before the fire in the conservatory, watching the snow and the birds, and at the same time...playing Scrabble! It is a winter snow tradition for us. Many of our guests have created a tradition: Visiting Annville Inn during our Secret Season. We hope you will join in the Secret Season pilgrimage to Annville Inn and the Hershey area.
