Randy Bachman has become a legendary figure in the rock ’n’ roll world through his talents as a guitarist, songwriter, performer and producer. Bachman has earned over 120 Gold and Platinum album/singles awards around the world. His songwriting has garnered him the coveted No. 1 spot on radio playlists in over 20 countries and, over the course of his career, he has sold over 40 million records. His songs have been recorded by a broad range of artists and have been placed in dozens of TV shows, films and commercials. Impressively, his music has provided a veritable soundtrack for more than 50 years of popular music.

Bachman first scored Billboard radio chart success with his band The Guess Who in 1965, performing the song, “Shakin' All Over.” The Guess Who went on an unprecedented run of five singles that each sold a million copies, all the product of the Gold-plated Randy Bachman-Burton Cummings songwriting team.

By 1970, The Guess Who had sold more records than the entire Canadian recording industry to that point, even outselling the Beatles that year. Their hits included “These Eyes,” “Laughing,” “Undun,” “No Time,” “No Sugar Tonight” and “American Woman.”

Bachman left The Guess Who at the height of their success. While this move stunned the music world, Bachman knew that he could never leave music behind. He formed Brave Belt – a country rock outfit in 1970 and experimented with a new musical style and lineup that eventually metamorphosed into Bachman-Turner Overdrive.

Unbelievably, Bachman’s success with Bachman-Turner Overdrive would eclipse his earlier triumphs. Monstrous hits for the band included, “Let it Ride,” “Roll on Down the Highway,” “Takin' Care of Business,” “Hey You,” “Looking Out for #1,” “Four Wheel Drive” and “You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet” (which reached No. 1 in over 20 countries).

In 2023, Bachman revived BTO. Led by Bachman, 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.
