Kelowna’s Kevin Kane and Tom Hooper first bonded over music as kids, later forming The Grapes of Wrath in 1983 with drummer Chris Hooper. Influenced by 60s British pop and the energy of punk and new wave, they released early work through the fledging Vancouver indie Nettwerk productions before signing with Capitol/EMI, producing Canadian classics like Peace of Mind, Backward Town, All the Things I Wasn’t, and I Am Here. Thanks in no small part to the support of MuchMusic, The Grapes enjoyed gold and platinum sales and sold out shows at home in Canada, extensive radio play, and toured Europe twice in support of albums that also saw release in Japan, Australia, and South America. Then - with international success looming and for reasons no one is entirely clear on - the band disbanded in 1992.
Reuniting in the late 90s with the release of the album “Field Trip”, which folded immediately. They came together again in the summer of 2009 for a series of acoustic duo shows around BC. The following year, an offer from a festival for a full band reunion led to the return of drummer Chris, and the original three recorded “High Road” (2013 - named after the street the Hoopers lived on when they first started playing together as kids), their first album of new material in almost 22 years. They have been gigging regularly ever since and are arguably the longest-running and still-active “original lineup” in rock.
Now - and as they had done briefly in 2009 - Tom and Kevin will once again hitthe road as a duo to perform The Grapes’ music in an intimate and unpluggedsetting - telling the stories behind the songs and putting the focus on theharmonies and melodies of their timeless music.
