 Barenaked Ladies Performances: The tour will see the band performing an electrifying mix of classic hits and fresh tracks, including new single "You Run Away," which was recently Most Added at both Hot AC and AAA. "You Run Away" was also part of the band's set-list during a special headlining show at the Winter Olympics Medal Ceremony on February 16th. On February 11th, Barenaked Ladies vocalist/guitarist Ed Robertson carried the Olympic Torch. Earlier that morning, he discussed the new album, single and the Olympics performance during a special interview on NBC's "The Today Show." To celebrate the release of ALL IN GOOD TIME, every online ticket transaction will include a download of the new album. In addition, fans who redeem the download the first week of the album's release, will also receive an exclusive bonus track. The U.S. shows follow a Canadian tour, which kicks off April 6 at the Save on Foods Centre in Victoria, BC (see itinerary below). Barenaked Ladies will be supported by Ingrid Michaelson May 10-15, and Serena Ryder May 16-June 5. Barenaked Ladies are also proud to announce the launch of their "new and improved" fan club, The Ladies Room. Members receive exclusive content and opportunities plus priority access to VIP ticket packages and presales. The band (Robertson, bassist/vocalist Jim Creeggan, keyboardist/guitarist/vocalist Kevin Hearn and drummer/vocalist Tyler Stewart) recorded ALL IN GOOD TIME with longtime producer Michael Phillip Wojewoda. Bob Clearmountain (Bruce Springsteen, Rolling Stones, David Bowie) mixed the album. For Robertson, the album's writing sessions followed a tumultuous 2008, a year that saw he and his wife survive the crash of a plane that he was piloting. During that period, he also suffered the loss of his mother, and the band parted ways with longtime bandmember/vocalist Steven Page. "It had been a huge and often dark year and these things took a heavy toll on my psyche and spurred a lot of serious exploring," says Robertson. "The writing was cathartic for me in a way that writing hadn't been since the early nineties." The result is a stylistically adventurous, musically diverse and the most emotionally riveting and honest work by the band to date. Over the course of the past twenty-one years, the Barenaked Ladies have racked up eight Juno Awards and multiple Grammy nominations, sold more than 14 million albums worldwide, written a plethora of hit singles (including "One Week," "Pinch Me" and "If I Had $1,000,000") and amassed an international fanbase whose members number in the millions. The band also wrote and recorded the theme song to the hit CBS television series, "The Big Bang Theory."
