Barenaked Ladies in Ottawa

Barenaked Ladies are a Canadian pop-rock band formed in Scarborough, Ontario, in 1988 by Ed Robertson and Steven Page. Their best-known recordings include “If I Had $1000000,” “One Week,” “The Old Apartment” and “Pinch Me,” while the albums Gordon, Stunt and Maroon established their mix of melodic rock, acoustic pop and comic songwriting. The band also wrote and recorded the theme for The Big Bang Theory. Barenaked Ladies launched the Ships and Dip concert cruises in 2007, hosting several multi-artist sailings centered on the band’s performances. In 2012 they began the recurring Last Summer on Earth tour, an amphitheatre package that has included Violent Femmes, Colin Hay, Semisonic and Del Amitri. They also joined Hootie & the Blowfish on the 2019 Group Therapy Tour. The band has performed at the Royal Albert Hall in London and Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado; a concert at the latter was released as BNL Rocks Red Rocks.
