Description

Success — and longevity — isn't lost on Barenaked Ladies' Ed Robertson. "It just seems unreal to me that I've been in a band called Barenaked Ladies for three and a half decades," Robertson tells Behind the Setlist. Best known for their 1998 hit "One Week" and the theme song to the comedy TV show "Big Bang Theory," Barenaked Ladies is still going strong. They released their 14th studio album, In Flight, in September 2023 and are preparing for a U.K. tour in the spring before returning to more shows in the States. The band's joyous live shows have earned them a huge touring business at arenas and amphitheaters through the U.S. and Canada, their home country. Robertson says the band chose build a career in North America rather than try to break in Europe, Latin America and Asia. "We'll take any gig," says Robertson, "and we will deliver."

At Behind the Setlist, we talk to artists to get the stories about the songs they play live. Most artists are known best for their recordings, but they love to be on stage. That's where the music feels at home. That's where they connect with the audience. How do they pick the songs to take the audience on a journey? Why do they cover other artists' songs? How many new songs can an artist fit into a 16-song set when people want to hear the classics? We find out. Hosted by Glenn Peoples (Billboard) and Jay Gilbert (Label Logic).
