Hamilton singer\/songwriter Terra Lightfoot says that her latest album, New Mistakes<\/i>, is a window into where she currently is at in her life. She says the album is about being comfortable with the challenges that can arise in any situation.<\/p>\n

\u201cInstead of shying away from making a mistake, it\u2019s realizing that each problem we encounter actually helps us,\u201d says Lightfoot. \u201cEvery mistake we make is teaching us something, but eventually I want to stop making the same mistakes and make some new ones.\u201d<\/p>\n

After Lightfoot and her band hit places such as Kansas City, Minneapolis, Wisconsin, and Winnipeg, they\u2019re coming to see us in Victoria. Lightfoot has played here in town before and is eager to get back.<\/p>\n

\u201c[We\u2019ve] played Lucky Bar once before and had such a rad time, so we are really excited to come back,\u201d she says. \u201cPeople went nuts last time. Victoria is a small town but people went crazy. It was a great way to end the tour.\u201d<\/p>\n

Music has been a lifelong journey for Lightfoot\u2014her grandmother played piano professionally, so Lightfoot learned from her when she was five. Lightfoot also had an aunt who was a guitarist, and she picked up a guitar herself when she was around 12. Today, Lightfoot says that while she always liked the idea of playing in front of people, singing for a crowd has been stressful. It was while attending Hamilton\u2019s McMaster University that things started happening for her. She says that balancing life and school was the hardest thing she has ever done.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re expected to do so much as students, and then balance our lives on top of that,\u201d says Lightfoot. \u201cIt was difficult, but I really enjoyed it. That was when I started playing shows and I joined a country band and sort of cut my teeth in Hamilton.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now that touring is her career, Lightfoot says that she\u2019s getting more comfortable on stage. Being on the road is not easy, Lightfoot says, but she adds that it\u2019s very fun.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would highly recommend it as a profession to those who are considering life as a touring musician,\u201d says Lightfoot. \u201cIt\u2019s a beautiful, beautiful life. I\u2019m lucky to have a great band and know that the guys are with me no matter what. It makes it so much easier to put on a crazy show. I can push my limits, knowing that I\u2019m with people who I can trust to back me up. We are so tight from being on tour that it\u2019s going to be a banger. We\u2019re going to have a party.\u201d<\/p>\n
