Randy Bachman is quite simply the rock and roll heartbeat of Canada. He has had a glorious life masterminding breakouts of two of the most iconic Canadian bands of all-time: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO), and the Guess Who. Now Randy–promising you ain’t seen nothing yet—says, “Bachman-Turner Overdrive / BTO is back!”With over 40 million records sold worldwide, 120 gold records, #1 US Billboard Pop Single and Multiple Top 40 US Billboard hits, it isn’t surprising that BTO are still getting 3 million Spotify streams monthly.
BTO’s origins began in 1970 when Randy, after co-writing such major Guess Who hits as “These Eyes,” “No Time,””Undun,” “Laughin’” and “American Woman.” left the Winnipeg-based group. Backed by its high-powered stage performances, Bachman-Turner Overdrive was a nuclear reactor of fuzz-toned aggression churning out such pounding signature tunes as “Takin’ Care Of Business,” “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet.” “Gimme Your Money Please,” “Roll On Down The Highway,” and “Let It Ride” that begged for a cranked-up car radio, and a steering wheel to hit for hours on end.
In his home country, Randy has received the Order of Canada, the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award, 11 JUNO awards, the SOCAN Lifetime Achievement Award, and is a double-inductee in the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.
In 2011 the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) presented Randy with its Global Impact Award, and he was inducted into the U.S. Musicians Hall of Fame in Nashville in 2014.
Also joining Randy in BTO will be Randy’s son, Tal Bachman, along with touring musicians Marc LaFrance, Brent Knudsen, and Mick Dalla-Vee.
This show marks the 50th anniversary of BTO’s first performance at Pacific Coliseum! It is fitting that such a historic milestone coincides with the revival of one of Canada’s most influential bands. After many decades, selling tens of millions of records with multi-platinum and number 1 awards, Bachman-Turner Overdrive is back in full gear!
