Singer, songwriter, and Canadian icon Steven Page has made an indelible impression on our country's bustling music scene as well as its cultural landscape. With 3 solo albums under his belt The Vanity Project, Page One and A Singer Must Die (with the Art of Time Ensemble) as well as the 2012 EP release A Different Sort of Solitude.
The co-founder and former lead singer of the Barenaked Ladies is busy -- entertaining audiences, touring with his new band, writing songs and composing for film and theatre.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

He did a really intimate show in Saint Albert, Alberta, a few years ago, with Craig Northey. It was amazing. Afterwards they hung out, talked to people, and signed autographs. What a nice guy! He gave the same analysis of Chorus Girl that night that he does here.

Nice talk. I agree with him on how connecting with the song as the writer and connecting with the audience as well is key. Also great when he says the audience doesn't need to know everything about you... just give them a little something. Great point.

I don't know what happened between Page and the BNL's but I really wish he would bury the hatchet and bring the band back together. His music during that period was very important to me. The 90's to early 2000's was a very difficult time in my life and his music brought just a little bit of joy to some very dark times for me.

+POVadventure It wasn't him. It was Ed Robertson. Page got in some "substance" trouble and Ed got the band to throw him out. Ed has tried to play the victim ever since, but in retrospect it was a naked powerplay by Robertson. Sad. Because they aren't the same without Page. It would be nice to see them reconcile, but it would require a mea-culpa on Robertson's part and that isn't very likely.
@appleblossom528
@appleblossom528 8 лет назад
+Jett Rink I don't agree with the your comment that Ed played the Victim-Ed just doesn't seem like that kind of person. Sorry but this is just how I view him.
@TomsBackyardWorkshop
@TomsBackyardWorkshop 8 лет назад
That was almost a year before he left the band. It might have played a role but I don't think it is the reason for the breakup.
@appleblossom528
@appleblossom528 8 лет назад
+POVadventure I understand that for some people the whole band meant a lot because I understand how their music lifts people's moral up. Steven's voice was amazing and his songs were probably the best but the whole band had something to give too.

For me, it's the saddest split of a band. I saw them over 15 times. Then saw them once in 2010 without Page and it wasn't the same band. I wish the rest of the guys all the best of luck, but it's not the same band. It breaks my heart.

@charda01
@charda01 9 лет назад
Jessica Jones I'm not aware that they aren't friends. All the interviews I've seen of both Page and "the other guy" (you can tell who I really like!) have indicated it was an amicable break up of the band. There was no discussion of "creative differences," no stories of thrown amps and smashed guitars, no walk outs from rehearsals. Sometimes people just grow in different directions. But, yes, I do miss them as an ensemble--musically, they seemed better together than apart. It's hard not to conclude that what's missing for Steve in the song, is the response to his call, the chorus to his high note, from the rest of BNL, and, yes, especially, the other lead singer, what's his face?
@appleblossom528

@dablueman21 7 лет назад
He does still play with Kevin (Hallelujah, It's All Been Done) but I think it was he, Ed, and Tyler that really broke apart.

BNL and the powers that be over-reacted to why they felt they had to force him out of the band. Worse things have happened with other bands and they mostly seem to work through them. BNL has been mediocre since....Page was the Voice and the Showman of BNL.

i think this man is smart and said some good things, especially about singing as a very personal act, being unable to disassociate yourself from the characters you portray, and messing with people through the power of The Voice, but the talk seemed like he was trying too hard to impress everyone (well, i guess i can't blame him because of the stupid amount of emphasis everyone puts on TED)

Yes this would be so nice if there wasn't so many "nine year old actors" scoffing at the voices so they pipe down, shut up and fall (literally to underneath the powerful) in line so they can get used and tested like human chattle to ensure that "nine year old scoffer like personalities" can run the world!
