20 Years Worth the Wait!
Boyfriend gave me a mixtape cassette with some BNL in 1994 and we just celebrated 20 years married at concert that felt very intimate. They know how to connect with their fans like no other band I’ve ever seen!

SO much fun. Only better if Steven Page was there
KT Tunstall sounded amazing. Love Better than Ezra but the lead singer sounds a bit rough these days. I adore BNL and have seen them in concert over 20 times. It's always a blast, just know going in that no Steven Page, means none of his tremendous vocals. It's a big difference on their older songs. Fly by night fans may be disappointed if you're going to hear Steve sing One Week. But it's a great time. They know how to entertain.

ALWAYS AN EVENING OF FUN!
Totally amaze-balls as usual, from the opening act of KT Tunstall to Better than Ezra to the main events. BNL always is a fav of mine, and they do not disappoint. Love the oldies, enjoy the new stuff, and really got into the mashup at the end, and their rendition of "Another Bites the Dust" by Queen. Well worth the money and time! Will go back again when they come back around to the area!

July 4th with Canadians was great!
There was a weather delay so BTE played a short set but BNL went on longer than planned and was very entertaining. The Red Hat Amphitheater is always awesome.

BNL/BTE/KTT
Great "triple bill!" Was nice being able to reserve parking at time we bought tickets to the concert. Show was entertaining, each act starting on time.

Fun show!
I didn’t know much about the opening acts but KT Tunstell and Better Than Ezra can really work a crowd. The BTE “Tiny Dancer” singalong was a highlight. Second time seeing BNL and they put on a great show. Will definitely see them live again. Had a great time.

So Much Fun!
BNL’s have a rocking great show with great bands/friends playing with them. You can tell they love what they do & work very hard to show love to their audiences.

BNL never disappoints. Took my 10 year old son and he had a great time. I do hope that Ed feels better. Was pretty obvious he was not 100%. Until next time....

BNL WAS AMAZING
The Bare Naked Ladies put on an amazing show as always. They are so entertaining and engaging!! A must see concert - every time they’re in town. BNL always bring some of the most amazing musicians on tour with them.
Barenaked Ladies on Tour
The Barenaked Ladies have been honing their musical and comedic chops since playing gigs around Canada with a comedy troupe in the late 1980s. Starting out as an acoustic duo, they quickly expanded into a full-fledged band and became well-known for their fun and dynamic live shows, where they’d throw in some of their improv and rapping skills. Since those early shows, the Ladies have been performing nearly continuously on tours that have crisscrossed the globe. Since 2004, they’ve been especially focused on the environment, offering eco-friendly options at their shows and using biodiesel to get around on the road.
Barenaked Ladies in Concert
With an amusing mix of pop, rock, sincerity and humor, the Barenaked Ladies are one of Canada’s most endearing exports. Over the years, they’ve been in a constant state of evolution, scoring hit singles in the ‘90s, contributing theme songs for TV shows like The Big Bang Theory and Odd Job Jack, releasing a holiday album, dropping an award-winning children’s album and even creating a popular fan cruise (called “Ships and Dip”). The band started humbly enough in the late ‘80s, as just an acoustic duo, featuring vocalists and schoolmates Ed Robertson and Steven Page. The name Barenaked Ladies started out as a joke, but ended up sticking — and the fact that it came off slightly scandalous ended up being to their advantage. After adding brothers Jim and Andy Creeggan and drummer Tyler Stewart to the mix, the band self-released The Yellow Tape EP in 1991. It proved to be a big success, mostly via word of mouth and their live shows. That same year, they were invited to perform at the New Year’s Eve concert outside Toronto’s City Hall, but were denied by then-mayor June Rowlands who denounced the band’s name as sexist. This minor controversy only raised the Ladies’ profile, and The Yellow Tape became the first independently released album to go platinum in Canada. They subsequently signed with a major label, Sire Records, and released their debut album, Gordon, in 1992. Folky singles like “If I Had $1,000,000” and “Brian Wilson” would become some of their most popular songs, but it’d take a few more albums before the Ladies finally topped the charts with 1998’s rapping sensation “One Week.” Going into the 21st century, the band would continue on an impressive recording spree, especially once they went back to being independent and created their own record label, Desperation Records. They released a few popular themed albums, including 2004’s Barenaked for the Holidays and 2008’s Snacktime! for kids. Even after original member Page left the band in 2009, the Barenaked Ladies have continued on, with albums like 2017’s Fake Nudes, and a number of tours around North America and beyond. In 2018, they were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame after 30 years as a band.
