After three decades of music and this group refuses to stand down from an astonishing performance. This show had the Bluesfest crowd the biggest it’s been so far and for good reason. The group needs no introduction, they are well known and loved in the hearts of rock and roll fans everywhere. Lighting up the stage with their opening song “Good Life.” Which appeared on their album from earlier this year (Their 13th studio album might I add, isn’t that amazing?) Some other set appearances are “Odds Are,” “The Old Apartment,” (A fan favorite) and of course, it wouldn’t be a Barenaked Ladies concert without it, “If I Had A Million Dollars.”

Given 30 years of musical experience, it is no surprise that the four are incredibly talented. But the instrument swapping was still highly impressive. Every member of the group is vocally trained and all sung a song. It was great that they took turns in the spotlight showing off their unique characteristics. They are a very interactive group. Taking breaks in between songs for comical bits or even to spread awareness on important issues. Sometimes both at the same time. From politicians, the pipeline, and vaccination, they are not shy to get into the gritty subjects.
