Burl’s Creek Event Grounds confirmed earlier today that award-winning Canadian artists BARENAKED LADIES will perform with special guests on July 22, 2018. Presale tickets start at $49 on Wednesday, May 23rd with the public on sale at 10AM EST on Friday, May 25. All tickets can be purchased at www.Eventbrite.ca.
“There’s not a Canadian who doesn’t know Barenaked Ladies as a staple of our brand of humour-infused singalong rock,” said Lisa Zechmeister, Director of Booking and Development at Burl’s Creek Event Grounds. “From cramming themselves into Speaker’s Corner in the early days, to jamming via satellite with Canada’s favourite musical astronaut in outer space, to becoming the first Canadian band to receive their own Ben & Jerry’s ice cream flavour, their induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame this year is well overdue and no surprise. This will be a summertime show to remember at Burl’sCreek.”
The fifteenth studio album from Barenaked Ladies, Fake Nudes is finely crafted yet flowing with carefree energy, stylistically adventurous yet rooted in timeless melodies and unforgettable hooks. As Ed Robertson explains, the close collaboration that fueled the making of the album has everything to do with the band’s deep connection on an artistic and individual level. “It’s all about trust, and knowing that you can rely on the strengths of your bandmates,” he says. “Whenever I go into the studio with new demos, I can always trust Jim and Ty and Kev’s instincts, and know that adding each of their personalities to the mix will make the songs that much better.” In bringing their latest album to life, Barenaked Ladies found their chemistry and camaraderie stronger than ever before. With next year marking the thirtieth anniversary of the Toronto-based band—which has now sold over 15 million albums worldwide and earned multiple JUNO Awards and Grammy nominations—Fake Nudesemerges as their most dynamic album to date.
