The Lincoln Theatre is pleased to welcome Crash Test Dummies -- live on the Lincoln stage for the first time ever!
With one of the most recognizable voices in Canadian music history, alternative rock band Crash Test Dummies are a three-time Grammy-nominated and JUNO award-winning group who soared to the top of the worldwide charts in the early 1990s with hits "Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm" and "Superman’s Song." Their cover of "The Ballad of Peter Pumpkinhead" was a highlight of the soundtrack to the blockbuster film Dumb and Dumber, while simultaneously reaching #4 on the US Top 100 album charts. All of their releases keep the same folk-hued, alternative spirit of their early sound, centering around the distinct baritone of frontman Brad Roberts and Ellen Reid's folk-rock fusion.
After a twenty-year hiatus, the Crash Test Dummies reunited in 2018 for a two-week tour to celebrate their most successful album “God Shuffled His Feet”. The overwhelming reception to these shows has since led to continuous touring across two continents, with sold-out shows across the US, Canada, the UK, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands.
"Touring again was not something we'd planned on, but surprisingly -- at least to me -- there are lots of people who many years later, still want to come and hear us," says lead singer and principal songwriter Brad Roberts. "It's humbling, being in the confidence of so many people." The band is returning to Europe and the UK in the fall of 2024 for an extensive tour before heading down under for sold-out shows in Australia and New Zealand in early 2025. In between those two stints, they'll be playing a select number of cities in North America -- including Mount Vernon!
The dynamic and high-energy stage show features the band’s most iconic songs, performed by original members Brad Roberts, Ellen Reid, Dan Roberts and Mitch Dorge. Joining them are long-standing guitarist Stuart Cameron and relative newcomer Leith Fleming-Smith, Canada's keyboard whiz-kid.
2025 will also see the band release a "Greatest Hits” double vinyl, which includes their first two new songs in fifteen years -- "Sacred Alphabet" and "When First the Heart" -- along with a live version of showstopper and fan favorite "Heart of Stone."
