Mini Bachman-Turner Overdrive Bio
Randy Bachman is quite simply the rock and roll heartbeat of Canada.
His has been a glorious life masterminding breakouts of two of the most iconic Canadian bands of all time: Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO), and the Guess Who. Now Randy–promising you ain’t seen nothing yet—says, “Bachman-Turner Overdrive/ BTO is back!”

BTO’s origins began in 1970 when Randy, after co-writing such major Guess Who hits as “These Eyes,” “No Time,'”‘Undun,” “Laughin'” and “American Woman.” left the Winnipeg-based group. Backed by its high-powered stage performances, Bachman-Turner Overdrive was a nuclear reactor of fuzz-toned aggression churning out such pounding signature tunes as “Takin’ Care Of Business,” “You Ain’t Seen Nothing Yet.” “Gimme Your Money Please,” “Roll On Down The Highway,” and “Let It Ride” that begged for a cranked-up car radio, and a steering wheel to hit for hours on end.
In his home country, Randy has received the Order of Canada, the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award, 11 JUNO awards, the SOCAN Lifetime Achievement Award, and is a double-inductee in the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.
In 2011 the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) presented Randy with its Global Impact Award, and he was inducted into the U.S. Musicians Hall of Fame in Nashville in 2014.
After many decades, selling tens of millions of records with multi-platinum and number 1 awards, Bachman-Turner Overdrive is back in gear!
