Lightfoot of the Rockies, Eric Elison

Eric Elison, is an independent Colorado Singer Songwriter and #1 Gordon Lightfoot Tribute Artist, who possesses a rich, vibrato laced baritone reminiscent of Gordon Lightfoot in his prime. Two events catapulted Eric into becoming a Lightfoot Tribute Artist. One was meeting Joni Mitchell’s ex-husband. “You are channelling Gordie Lightfoot. Trust me I know what Gordie sounds like. He used to sleep on my sofa!” Chuck Mitchell (Joni’s Ex) The second event was meeting Ted Vigil, a world renowned John Denver Tribute Artist. Ted, and Eric got together for a Jam session. Ted was impressed with Eric’s vocal and guitar, and encouraged him to pursue becoming a Lightfoot Tribute Artist. Eric did precisely that, spending countless hours learning Lightfoot’s considerable catalog, recording an EP of Lightfoot’s tunes in Nashville. Eric began playing his Lightfoot Tribute Show in August of 2019, around the US, and Europe.
