Lighthouse

Formed in 1969 by drummer/ composer Skip Prokop and keyboardist/ composer Paul Hoffert, Lighthouse shattered musical boundaries with their trailblazing fusion of rock, jazz, and classical music. Dubbed a “rock orchestra,” the multi-JUNO Award–winning band quickly became one of Canada’s most electrifying live acts, performing sold-out shows around the world, including Carnegie Hall, the Fillmore East and West, Expo ’70 in Japan, and the Isle of Wight Festival — where Lighthouse was an audience favourite (among Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Jimi Hendrix, and more), and the only band invited to perform an additional set at the closing concert.

Their hits — including “One Fine Morning,” “Sunny Days,” “Pretty Lady,” and “Hats Off (To the Stranger)” — were the soundtrack of a generation and remain staples of classic rock radio. With Canada’s first platinum live album (Lighthouse Live!), induction into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame and Canada’s Walk of Fame, Lighthouse’s influence continues to resonate. More than five decades later, the band’s unmistakable sound and spirit still shine brightly on stage, and on the newly reimagined One Fine Morning (Anniversary Edition).
