Carlton Showband's Reunion Tour

For 35 years, from Vancouver to St. John's and across North America, the Carlton Showband captured the secret of musical camaraderie most musicians envy. Their brand of magic invariably packed the house and their 2010 one month long "Reunion Tour" is expected to draw the same. As regulars on the popular CTV show, The Pig and Whistle for ten years (1967-1977) this legendary Irish tinged group had a number of Top 10 songs on various radio charts, including "The Merry Ploughboy" in '66, "Roll It Around in Your Mind" in 1972 and "Hard Times (Comin' Down Again)" in 1979. Someone once remarked after hearing the Carlton Showband, "if you can sit through a performance without tapping your toes, without a smile coming to your lips, without a lump coming to your throat - you're clinically dead!"

The original members - Freddy White, Aaron Lewis, Gregory Donaghey, Roddy Lee, Robert and Larris Benoit - will bring you the show you've come to expect. The Carlton Showband were the recipients of a Juno Award for Country Group or Duo of the Year; a Big Country Award; a Gold album for "The Best of the Carlton Showband" and a Double Platinum Award for their "Twenty Gospel Favourites" release. It is a Reunion not to miss! Catch the spirit of these musical showmen as they connect with their fans one more time on a Cross Canada Tour!
