Info
George Thorogood & The Destroyers bring The Baddest Show On Earth to Ottawa on April 4, 2026 at Hard Rock Hotel & Casino Ottawa. Formed in Wilmington in the 70s, the band forged a lean mix of blues rock, boogie and rock’n’roll, built around George Thorogood’s slide guitar and Jeff Simon’s straight-ahead beat. On stage, they keep it direct: tight grooves, call-and-response licks, a rough-edged voice and a repertoire that shifts between their own songs and stripped takes on staples by John Lee Hooker, Elmore James or Chuck Berry.
From the early drive of Move It On Over to the growl stamped on Bad to the Bone, their catalog favors simple structures and rolling tempos made for live rooms. Years of touring shaped a sound that stays close to the source, with arrangements trimmed to essentials and solos delivered without frills. This show taps into that approach: electric blues roots, bar-band energy and a boogie pulse that carries the set from start to finish.
