If that new January exercise schedule hasn’t worked your stomach muscle’s into shape The Arrogant Worms certainly will. Guaranteed to make your sides hurt, Canada’s self proclaimed “Clowned Princes of Humour” are on a mission to make you laugh using only bass, guitar, great stage presence, super-tight harmonies, and sharp wit. A treat for audiences from age 5 to 95, this three-man comedy group is back at The Banff Centre’s Eric Harvie Theatre by popular demand, Saturday, February 10.
Masters of tuneful and silly escapism, The Arrogant Worms are the combination of Mike McCormick, Chris Patterson, and Trevor Strong. The trio offers humour ranging from topical to the absurd and unfailingly delivers high energy, playful performances, complete with unusual participation from their devoted sing along fans. Originally influenced by folk and acoustic rock, The Arrogant Worms have been known to make use of Celtic, country, reggae, bluegrass, surf music, and gospel influences.
Now one of Canada’s most popular live acts, The Arrogant Worms made their start on campus radio in Kingston, Ontario in 1991. Rave reviews of their early live shows led to a self-titled album in 1992, airplay on national radio, tours across Canada, and numerous appearances at festivals from coast to coast. In 2003, the group was recognized as the Touring Act of the Year by the Canadian Arts Presenters Association. Currently, with nine independent albums released, The Arrogant Worms are sought after by venues throughout North America, Australia, and the United Kingdom.
The Banff Centre’s winter/spring 2007 Playbill Series continues with Lunch at Allen’s (February 11), African Guitar Summit (February 17), Jane Bunnett and the Spirits of Havana (February 18), and Ailey II (February 23).
Tickets for all Banff Centre events are available through The Banff Centre Box Office: 1-800-413-8368 or 403-762-6301.
