RIVER ROCK CASINO RESORT & CLASSIC ROCK 101

PRESENT BACHMAN & TURNER SATURDAY, OCTOBER 1

Richmond, BC – After many years of demand by their fans, Canadian rock legends and have reunited and are taking their show on the road with their “Forged in Rock” tour. Just last year, the duo and their top notch band released their first album in two decades … the self-titled album features the single, “Rollin’ Along”. Bachman earned his first colossal success with The Guess Who when their hit, “American Woman” scored the #1 spot on Billboard’s singles charts in 1970 … a first for any Canadian act. He soared even further with Turner in Bachman-Turner Overdrive which became a musical phenomenon with extraordinary global success. At the pinnacle of their career, the band’s distinctive brand of stripped-down, blue collar, meat n’ potatoes rock headlined some of the biggest arenas in the world … from New York’s Madison Square Garden to the Falkoner Center in Copenhagen. Over the course of a four-year run, Bachman-Turner Overdrive sold in excess of 30 million records earning a staggering 120 platinum, gold and silver discs and accumulating hits in more than twenty countries.

In 1974, the band reached #1 on Billboard’s singles charts with “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet”. Their additional hits include “Takin’ Care of Business”, “Hey You”, ”Let It Ride”, “Roll On Down The Highway”, “My Wheels Won’t Turn” and “Lookin’ Out For #1”. When the two went their separate ways in 1977, Bachman continued to pursue his unwavering love for music as a solo artist as well as being part of the much-celebrated Guess Who reunion followed by the Bachman-Cummings reunion and subsequently establishing himself as a jazz artist and host of the CBC/Sirius radio show, Vinyl Tap. Meanwhile Turner carried on with the other members of Bachman-Turner Overdrive before retiring from music at the end of the 90’s to indulge his passion for cars. Bachman & Turner’s world debut occurred last June at the Sweden Rock Festival alongside some of their contemporaries including Aerosmith, Guns N’ Roses and Billy Idol. They also played the halftime show at the 2010 Grey Cup in Edmonton. Reunited, Bachman & Turner are offering their legions of fans something new … and taking care of some “unfinished business”!
