Rush's Snakes and Arrows Tour
Overview
One of Canada's most iconic musical exports, Rush, is currently on tour to promote their latest album, Snakes and Arrows. Over four decades, the progressive rock trio has achieved monumental success, boasting nearly 40 Gold and Platinum records and selling an estimated 35 million albums worldwide. Their passion for music shows no signs of waning.
Band Legacy
Comprising Geddy Lee (lead vocals, bass, keyboards), Alex Lifeson (lead guitar), and Neal Peart (drums), Rush has been a dominant force in the music industry since their debut in 1974. Renowned for their focus on albums rather than singles, they combine impressive instrumental skills with Peart's science fiction and fantasy-inspired lyrics, which haven't always been mainstream but have formed a devoted fan base.
Despite this, Rush has produced numerous hit singles, including "Limelight," "Fly By Night," "Tom Sawyer," and "Closer To The Heart." Their influence extends beyond their own work, inspiring bands like Catherine Wheel and Audioslave. For newcomers, their 1990 best-of release, Chronicles, offers a comprehensive introduction to their accessible hits.
