Over the last thirty-five years, Canadian Music Hall of Fame inductee Steven Page has established himself as one of the most recognizable and enduring voices in music. The release of his latest album, Excelsior, shows that he has no plans of slowing down anytime soon.

As a co-founder, vocalist and songwriter for Barenaked Ladies, Steven sang and wrote classics like Brian Wilson, If I Had A Million Dollars, What A Good Boy, It’s All Been Done and many more. With the band, he sold over 15 Million albums and scored multiple Junos, Billboard Music Awards, SOCAN awards, Gemini Awards and two Grammy nominations. After leaving the band in 2009, Steven embarked on a solo career that has produced five solo albums, including 2022’s Excelsior, and has seen him tour worldwide, from folk festivals to cabarets and theatres, all the way to packed arenas on a string of dates opening for rock legends The Who.

Steven performs in many configurations, but, since 2016, has been playing most often with his pals in The Steven Page Trio, Craig Northey of Vancouver legends Odds on guitar, and Kevin Fox on cello. With SP3, Steven has performed arrangements of some of his best-loved songs from his long career with symphony orchestras including the Vancouver and Winnipeg Symphony Orchestras.

Steven is a frequent collaborator with Toronto’s eclectic Art of Time Ensemble, is a member of power-pop quartet, The Trans-Canada Highwaymen, has a Stratford commissioned musical in the works, and continues to work in film, television and other media. The Governor-General’s Performing Arts Awards asked Steven to write song as a surprise tribute to his friend, Ryan Reynolds, and the result was Canada Loves You Back, a song as poignant, humorous and Canadian as the actor it honors.
