MANISTEE — West Shore Community College’s Performing Arts Series will welcome the Steven Page Trio to the Ramsdell Regional Center for the Arts on Friday, Nov. 20, at 7:30 p.m. The all-ages performance will feature the former co-founder, lead vocalist and songwriter of Barenaked Ladies.
During his career, Page has become one of the most recognizable voices in music. As a founding member of Barenaked Ladies, he helped write and perform many of the band’s best-known hits, including “Brian Wilson,” “If I Had a Million Dollars,” “What a Good Boy” and “It’s All Been Done.” The band sold more than 15 million albums and earned numerous awards, including multiple Juno and Billboard Music Awards, along with two Grammy nominations.
“Whether you know Steven Page from his years with Barenaked Ladies or are discovering his solo work for the first time, this is a performance that has something for everyone,” said Ted Malt, director of performing arts and professor of music at West Shore Community College. “The trio’s unique instrumentation brings a different dimension to these songs, making for a wonderful evening of live music.”
Since leaving the band in 2009, Page has released five solo albums, including 2022’s “Excelsior,” and continued touring internationally. Since 2016, he has frequently performed with the Steven Page Trio, featuring guitarist Craig Northey of Odds and cellist Kevin Fox.
