Barenaked Ladies: Public Stunts, Private Stories

Tamara Jones is a former production operations supervisor in the
Entertainment Department of Paramount Canada’s Wonderland.

Barenaked Ladies is a candid, engaging, and meticulously researched
biography of a truly unique group in Canadian music history. The author,
a fellow musician and long-time friend of the Barenaked Ladies, adopts a
less than rigid chronological approach as he describes how he began the
task of writing the book and relates the stories of the individual band
members in the pre-BNL years. From the formative encounter at music camp
in 1988, through six albums, to the release of Maroon, the band is
followed through to its maturity. Thoughts and anecdotes from a long
list of collaborators, friends, and family flesh out Myers’s portrait
of a exceptionally talented group that, in the face of management and
band member departures, has maintained the integrity of its music.
Barenaked Ladies is as straightforward, insightful, humorous, and
genuine as its subject.
