Lightfoot's schedule remains busy through an East Coast stretch in July, after which he'll take a breather for a few months before launching into a four-night engagement at Toronto's Massey Hall beginning Nov. 18. Dates are below.

Lightfoot, who scored a No. 1 record with 1974's "Sundown" and a No. 2 hit with the 1976 lost-at-sea ballad "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald," hasn't released an album of new material since 2004's "Harmony."

That album, his 20th full-length studio effort, surfaced following the singer's serious health issues in 2002, when he underwent emergency surgery for a ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm and endured six weeks in a coma.

Following a long recovery period, which included additional surgeries, Lightfoot hit the road again with a few shows in 2004 before embarking on a more thorough tour the following year. Another tour followed in 2008.
