Due to an unexpected family health emergency, Whitehorse is unable to perform at The Muskoka Music Festival and JUNO nominated artist Terra Lightfoot will now headline the Opera House show on Saturday evening, with very special guest AHI. From Whitehorse - "We are sad to be disappointing our fans and friends in Gravenhurst and we don't take this at all lightly. We know everyone will be in great musical hands with Terra. We hope to play the festival another year."

Founder and Artistic Director of Muskoka Music Festival Miranda Mulholland shares; "While we are disappointed that Whitehorse is unable to perform for the festival, we all believe that family comes first and are thinking about them during this difficult time. We are so delighted that Terra Lightfoot is able to step in to share her powerhouse voice and gifted guitar playing with her trio at the newly refurbished Opera House. We hope that previous ticket purchasers will still join us at Saturday night's concert featuring Terra and special guest AHI in this highly-anticipated return of the Muskoka Music Festival." Tickets for the Opera House show are available here, and refunds are available at the point of purchase.

Terra Lightfoot is a Juno-and Polaris-nominated guitarist-singer-songwriter from Hamilton, Ontario. In 2020, she marked her first decade as a recording artist with new album Consider the Speed, recorded by Grammy-winning producer Jay Newland at Memphis' legendary Royal Studios. That session also produced the recently released cover of Lead Belly’s “Where Did You Sleep Last Night?”. In early 2022, Lightfoot launched her own label, Midnight Choir, with new single “Sleepyhead.” www.terralightfoot.com Though much has been made of AHI’s years spent backpacking everywhere from the hills of Ethiopia to the jungles of Trinidad, Prospect, the globetrotting singer/songwriter’s extraordinary new album, is the story of an even more profound journey: an internal quest for understanding and self-discovery. Recorded in Nashville with GRAMMY-winning producer Paul Mabury, the collection is bold and expansive, delivering on the promise of AHI’s first two records with a captivating, immersive sound that showcases the raw power of his gravel-on-silk vocals like never before. The songs here are deeply introspective, looking inward with piercing insight and honesty, and the performances are similarly fearless, blurring the lines between roots, folk, pop, and soul as they grapple with pain and healing, faith and resilience, connection and identity. Born in Ontario, AHI (pronounced “eye”) grew up in a traditional West Indian family that considered music diversionary entertainment, but after dropping out of school to hike, meditate, and fast his way across the world, he set his mind to pursuing songwriting professionally. His debut album, We Made It Through The Wreckage, was a breakout hit, with lead single “Ol’ Sweet Day” racking up more than 14M streams and earning AHI an NPR Tiny Desk Concert. The attention helped him score a deal withThirty Tigers for his next LP, 2018’s In Our Time, which garnered a JUNO nomination and led to dates with Patty Griffin, Michael Franti, and Lauren Daigle.
