Insight
For over three decades, MEN WITHOUT SHAME has been a quintessential force in the prairies classic rock scene, tracing their roots back to 1994 in the basement of The Exchange in Regina. Initially a passion project featuring members of The Blazers and Choice, the band transitioned from crafting originals to belting out Classic Rock anthems. You may have seen their iconic purple bus with yellow sunglasses crisscrossing Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Ontario. From entertaining troops and researchers at Canadian Forces Station Alert at the North Pole to sharing stages alongside icons like the Doobie Brothers, Sammy Hagar, Joan Jett, Billy Idol and dozens more at various Rock festivals, Men Without Shame continues to entertain audiences with their timeless sound and unwavering passion for rock 'n' roll. Four original members with the added keyboard wizardry of Paul Winichuk make this a “don’t miss” event.
