Fans of Canadian music from the late 1980s/early 1990s are likely familiar with The Grapes Of Wrath, whose 60s inspired harmonies were a staple on Canadian radio, Much Music and Musique Plus. Songs such as “Peace Of Mind”, “What Was Going Through My Head”, “You May Be Right”, Backward Town”, “I Am Here”, and “All The Things I Wasn’t” - along with relentless touring - helped the band earn a gold and 2 platinum album certifications. Formed in 1978 when Kevin and Tom - along with Tom’s brother Chris on drums - began playing together in the Hooper’s basement when Kevin and Chris were 13 and Tom was just 10. Between 1984 and 1992 the band released and EP and 4 albums, moving from first label Nettwerk Productions to an international deal with Capital/EMI.
The band disbanded in 1992, but Tom and Kevin revived the Grapes in the late 90s for the album “Field Trip” (2000) and welcomed Chris back to the fold in 2010, performing and occasionally recording ever since. While the band still work together, Kevin and Tom have started performing as an acoustic duo, featuring reworked versions of the band’s hits, album deep cuts, and even a few new numbers to enthusiastic audiences eager to hear their old favourites and the stories behind the songs.
Joining The Grapes of Wrath as special guest, Kylie Fox blends Americana, humour, wit, and ’70s glitz with a distinctly Canadian perspective. Inspired by Joni Mitchell, Jenny Lewis, and Brandi Carlile, her distinctive voice and storytelling have earned her a devoted following. Her sophomore album, Sequoia (2024), and accompanying 40-date tour earned her an ECMA nomination for Solo Artist of the Year, three PrixNB nominations, and appearances at Toronto’s Come Together Festival and Canadian Music Week.
