Alex Lifeson - Stairway to Heaven Solo (December, 2021)

Oshawa prog rock duo Crown Lands recently hit the studio with their guitar hero, Rush's Alex Lifeson — and "some real magic happened."

Lifeson reportedly invited Kevin Comeau and Cody Bowles to join him onstage at the 17th annual Andy Kim Christmas concert this Wednesday (December 8) at Toronto's newly revitalized Massey Hall. The pair will perform two Led Zeppelin covers with the Rush guitarist, one of which will surely be "Stairway to Heaven."

In a very wholesome gesture, the CanRock legend also lent Comeau his double neck guitar to play.

Bowles and Comeau have frequently described their sound as "the White Stripes covering Rush," so you could say this is a pretty big deal for them. Earlier this year, the band released their White Buffalo EP — the follow-up to the duo's 2020 self-titled debut album — and were named breakthrough group of the year at the 2021 Juno Awards.
