Crash Test Dummies

Part of the 125th Anniversary Celebration of the Gravenhurst Opera House 

Friday, March 13, 2026
Celebration 6:30 PM 
Doors Open 7:00 PM

TICKETS: $75 + applicable fees & taxes

With one of the most recognizable voices in Canadian music history, alternative rock band Crash Test Dummies are a three-time Grammy nominated and JUNO award-winning group, who soared to the top of the worldwide charts in the early 1990’s with hits “Mmm, Mmm, Mmm, Mmm” and “Superman’s Song”. Their cover of “The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead” was a highlight of the soundtrack to the blockbuster film, “Dumb and Dumber”, while simultaneously reaching #4 on the US Top 100 album charts. All of their releases keep the same folk-hued, alternative spirit of their early sound, centering around the distinct baritone of frontman Brad Roberts and Ellen Reid’s folk-rock fusion. 

After a twenty-year hiatus, the Crash Test Dummies reunited in 2018 for a two-week tour to celebrate their most successful album “God Shuffled His Feet”. The overwhelming reception to these shows has since led to continuous touring across two continents, with sold-out shows across the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands. 

“Touring again was not something we’d planned on, but surprisingly– at least to me – there are lots of people who many years later, still want to come and hear us,” says lead singer and principal songwriter Brad Roberts. “It’s humbling, being in the confidence of so many people.” The band is returning to Europe and the UK in the fall of 2024 for an extensive tour before heading down under for sold-out shows in Australia and New Zealand in early 2025. 

The dynamic and high-energy stage show features the band’s most iconic songs, performed by original members Brad Roberts, Ellen Reid, Dan Roberts and Mitch Dorge. Joining them are long-standing guitarist Stuart Cameron and relative newcomer Leith Fleming-Smith, Canada’s keyboard whiz-kid. 

2025 will also see the band release a “Greatest Hits” double vinyl, which includes their first two new songs in fifteen years - ‘Sacred Alphabet’ and ‘When First the Heart’ - along with a live version of showstopper and fan favorite “Heart of Stone”.

Chantal Kreviazuk and Raine Maida are one of Canada’s most influential cultural couples. 

Kreviazuk made her critically acclaimed full-length debut, Under These Rocks and Stones, in 1997. Since then, the Winnipeg born singer-songwriter has been granted three JUNO Awards and a Grammy Award. In total, she has recorded ten albums, including a live album and a holiday album.

Simultaneously, Maida forged a dynamic career as a solo artist in addition to being the front man for the band, Our Lady Peace – also a four-time JUNO Award winner, including Rock Album of the Year in 2003 (Gravity) and 1998 (Clumsy). The pair have also co-written hits for artists such as Kelly Clarkson, David Cook, and Carrie Underwood & Chantal individually has songs with Drake, Kendrick Lamar & Gwen Stefani.  

While Kreviazuk and Maida are quick to lend their time to the studio and stage, they are equally committed to lending their help to those in need. The couple were awarded the Order of Canada for their efforts to raise awareness and support for human and animal rights, mental health, education, and the environment. 

Their collaborative album, I’m Going to Break Your Heart, was released with an  accompanying documentary – capturing the couple's personal struggles and musical journey – all to inspire a generation of a cycle-breaking and hope for a more peaceful future.

The Comic Strippers are a fictitious male stripper troupe, played by a cast of some of Canada’s best improvisational comedians. These guys try to be sexy… it just comes out funny.

They sing, they “dance;” these guys are oiled up and ready to make you laugh.

And not to worry, gentlemen, this is definitely a parody of male strippers.
