Songwriter Mike Haggith returned to the Sault to celebrate his new album 'All the Best in All You Do' with his second Rotaryfest Main Stage performance in two years
In A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens wrote: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.”
“We were two tracks in, had been going for barely over 8 minutes, and I was doing my typical 'stroll’ around the stage while [my bandmate] lets out a blistering solo. I had a leg up on the drum riser and one on the main stage platform. As I went to turn around to head back to the front of the stage … my right leg just didn't come with the rest of me.”
“As soon as that gig was confirmed, I decided I was going to release my new album that night. We had the CDs all pressed, everything was ready to go, and when we stepped on the stage, it felt so right. So right. In fact, that I thought to myself ‘nothing can take away from this moment.’”“At that moment, I wasn't sure if my knee was broken or dislocated, but it doesn't really matter when you're writhing on the stage floor,” he laughs.
The songwriter says it will be a show he will never forget and one that his 10-track new album, All The Best In All You Do will be forever linked to.“I had been living at the whim of a toxic love affair back in early 2020, which took a lot out of me,” he says. “It's one of those records that focuses heavily on rising from the ashes and being the best person you can be.”“Now that I fly for an airline which has me on multi-day pairings, I spend lots of nights away from home, which does have its positive aspects,” he says.
Haggith is going to be spending time healing and focusing on his upcoming performance at the Northern Vibe Festival next month.
