Led by Bachman, who was recently nominated to be inducted into the Songwriters Hall Of Fame, BTO’s latest lineup also includes his son Tal Bachman. With Randy’s legendary guitar and Tal’s contemporary flair, BTO forges ahead, blending their classic hits with a fresh energy that captivates audiences worldwide. The band will also be performing hits from The Guess Who, the iconic classic rock group which Bachman co-founded with Burton Cummings. The BTO legacy lives on, promising unforgettable performances and a continued impact on the ever-evolving rock landscape.
“Years ago, BTO rocked Canada coast to coast, sharing the stage with acts like ZZ Top.,” says Bachman. “Now, we’re excited to return, bringing along Canadian rock legends April Wine and Headpins. Get ready for a night of 70’s classic rock that continues to dominate the airwaves. I’ll be playing all the Guess Who and BTO hits with my band, BTO, and with April Wine and Headpins joining us, it’s going to be an unforgettable evening. Crank up the hits! Canadian rock is back, and BTO is back!”
