Toronto’s revered rock band Rheostatics has exciting news for fans as they prepare to debut their new album with a special performance in their hometown. This double album extravaganza will feature a star-studded lineup that includes iconic Rush guitarist Alex Lifeson, along with members of the beloved Canadian band Barenaked Ladies.

Set to take place on November 22 at TD Music Hall in Toronto, the concert promises to be an unforgettable experience for attendees. In addition to Lifeson, other musicians slated to join Rheostatics on stage include keyboardist Kevin Hearn of Barenaked Ladies fame and the talented jazz rock violinist Hugh Marsh.

The main event of the evening will be the debut of The Great Lake Suites, a project that Rheostatics has been dropping hints about for several months on social media. Described as a multi-media show, the performance will incorporate visuals created by long-time collaborators Nicholas DePencier and Jennifer Baichwal. The show will feature spoken word, film clips, improvisations, and select tracks from the upcoming double album. Attendees will be taken on a journey both above and below the depths of North America’s inland seas in a truly unique live experience.

Tickets for this highly anticipated show are slated to go on sale this Thursday at 10 a.m. through TD Music Hall’s website. While details about the album are still under wraps, fans can expect more information to be released in the near future.
