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.

    BNL was Funtastic

    by Cathy B on 12/8/23Sound Board at MotorCity Casino Hotel - Detroit

    Concert was great. They played a couple of their new songs, a bunch of their hits and a cool medley of Xmas tunes. Very fun.

    Terrible experience

    by BNL Rama on 12/6/23Casino Rama Resort - Rama

    The band is quite worn out. The replacement for Steven Page doesn't work and is awkward. Often not being able to keep pace with chorus lyrics. Seating off the floor is terrible for tall people.

    Great nostalgia trip!

    by G023 on 12/5/23Casino Rama Resort - Rama

    For not having heard them in a LONG time, they sounded exactly like what I remembered as a kid. I highly recommend seeing them!

    Great Show!!!

    by Johnny Ten on 12/5/23Casino Rama Resort - Rama

    We thoroughly enjoyed the Barenaked Ladies at Casino Rama. Nice mix of their oldies, some new tunes and their versions of Christmas songs. The guys were clearly having as much fun as we did.

    BNL - why not to pay to see them

    by BNLpreviousfan on 12/5/23Casino Rama Resort - Rama

    It was aweful. Too much chit chat, not a lot of songs. Either Ed couldn’t remember the lyrics or the sound wasn’t working. Don’t spend your hard earned $ to see them live, stick with the radio or an old album.

    Worst concert we’ve ever seen

    by DisappointedDuo on 12/5/23Casino Rama Resort - Rama

    From terrible off-key vocals to not-so-funny comedic lines….these guys really were a disappointment. An hour and 20 mins into the show and there were 2 of their popular songs. The rest were Christmas themed or songs we didn’t know. I expected it to be a mediocre show at best, but this fell below that. We ended up leaving.

    We had a wonderful time at the Casino abd st the concert!

    by WendyD on 12/5/23Casino Rama Resort - Rama

    Our seats were second row, we were close to the stage which was up high so that when people came down to stand at the stage we could still see the Barenaked Ladies performing. The Barenaked Ladies themselves were funny and highly entertaining and talented! An all around excellent experience!

    We had a blast!

    by RadioRob on 12/4/23Casino Rama Resort - Rama

    The fact that the Barenaked Ladies still have as much fun on stage as they did 35 years ago is a testament to their longevity. I really enjoyed the show, and the venue.

    Another Fantastic BNL Show

    by Samson23 on 11/6/23Cal Coast Credit Union Open Air Theatre at SDSU - San Diego

    Had a wonderful time catching the Barenaked Ladies in San Diego this past June 22nd at SDSU's Open Air Theatre. Have seen them 8 times over the years and this show was just as fantastic as others in the past. They still sound outstanding and fill the venue with positive vibes and good cheer. Semisonic was a great complement to the evening. Thank you BNL!

    A Night To Remember

    by Badman on 9/15/23Massey Hall - Toronto

    In all the concerts I have been to in my life, I have never experienced an entire crowd (with the lights on) smiling, dancing and not even needing a band to sing the words. A GREAT night out and a memory that will last a lifetime.

    BNL Never disappoints!

    by PB on 8/14/23

    We did the Meet and Greet before the show and BNL could not have been nicer! I have seen them over 40 times, which is not a lot compared to some of their other fans, and they put on a great show! Very engaging and energetic......they connect with the audience and you can tell that they enjoy what they are doing. Thanks for returning to Boston year after year! We LOVE to see you.

    Brief Greatness

    by Vill on 8/2/23

    Barenaked Ladies played at Blossom Music Center after two opening acts. Perhaps that is why they played what seemed like a breviated set. The quality and energy of the show was great just seemed short.
