Barenaked Ladies – July 4, at the Métropolis LiveEvents July 1, 2014 5074 Festival International de Jazz de Montréal presents Barenaked Ladies Despite their immense success in the Anglophone world, especially in the ROC, the Barenaked Ladies are arriving at the Festival for the very first time. With a 25-year career, 7 well-deserved JUNO Awards and fans like a certain Sir Paul McCartney… it’s about time. In addition to more rocking numbers recorded recently, they’ll serve up the big hits spiced with wit and humour (Be My Yoko Ono, If I Had a $1,000,000, One Week, The Old Apartment…) that made them famous worldwide. The evening opens with the sexy, feverish rock of Canadian duo Whitehorse.
