Bachman-Turner Overdrive to Perform at Ruth Eckerd Hall With John Waite
Randy Bachman leads a revamped lineup featuring his son Tal Bachman and daughter-in-law KoKo Bachman.
Bachman-Turner Overdrive will launch their No Speed Limit Tour, which hits the road across the U.S. The trek sees founding member Randy Bachman revving up again with BTO following a successful summer tour with Burton Cummings as The Guess Who. BTO's No Speed Limit Tour will include a stop at Ruth Eckerd Hall with special guest John Waite on Friday, January 8 at 7:30pm. Tickets go on sale Friday, August 28 at 10 am.
In 2023, Bachman revived BTO, the legendary rock n' roll band behind worldwide hits such as Takin' Care Of Business and You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet, and has continued to tour for several years. Led by Bachman, BTO recently revamped its lineup with his son Tal Bachman on guitar; his daughter-in-law KoKo Bachman on drums; as well as his friends Lance Lapointe on bass and Brent Knudsen on guitar, for a true family affair. The BTO legacy lives on, promising unforgettable performances and a continued impact on the ever-evolving rock landscape.
