BTO to play the Colosseum in June

An iconic Canadian rock band will take the Caesars Windsor stage in June.

Bachman-Turner Overdrive (BTO), featuring Randy Bachman, will play the Colosseum on June 14.

Randy Bachman began his music career in 1960 when in Winnipeg, he co-founded the group that eventually became The Guess Who, which put out hits such as "These Eyes", "American Woman", and "No Sugar Tonight/New Mother Nature".

Bachman left The Guess Who and formed a band with his brothers Robbie and Tim, along with Fred Turner, that became BTO.

The band put out five consecutive Canadian top-10 singles in 1974 and 1975, "Let It Ride", "Takin' Care of Business", "Roll On Down the Highway", and "Hey You". The fifth song, "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet", went to number one on the Canadian singles chart and the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

Randy Bachman's songs have topped radio station playlists in 20 countries.

Bachman will be joined by band members Mick Dalla-Vee, Brent Knudsen, Marc LaFrance, and Tal Bachman.

Tickets for the 19-and-over show go on sale at 10 a.m. Wednesday for Caesars Reward members, and Friday at 10 a.m. to the general public.

Tickets are available through the official Caesars Windsor website or Ticketmaster. The box office is open Friday and Saturday from noon to 8 p.m., and on show days from noon to 10 p.m.
