Crash Test Dummies – Jingle All The Way

Presented by Kootenay Concert Connection

in association with 2day FM and Key City Theatre

With one of the most memorable voices in Canadian Music history, alternative rock-folk band, the Crash Test Dummies are coming to the Kootenays in November. The Crash Test Dummies are a three time Grammy nominated and Juno award winning group, who soared to the top of the worldwide charts in the early 1990’s with a multitude of unforgettable songs. Songs like The battle of Peter Pumpkin Head, Mmmm, Mmmm, Superman’s Song, Androgynous, and many more. Pumpkin head was a highlight of the soundtrack to the blockbuster film, Dumb and Dumber, while simultaneously reaching No 4 on the US Top 100 Album charts. All of their releases keep the same folk based alternative spirit of their early sound centering around the distinct baritone of frontman Brad Roberts and Ellen Reid’s folk-rock infusion.


After a 20 year hiatus, the Crash Test Dummies reunited in 2018, just for a two week tour to celebrate their most successful album “When God Shuffled his Feet.” The reaction to this has all lead to continuous touring across 2 continents, with sold out shows across the USA, Canada, the UK, Germany, Austria, and the Netherlands. The band is returning to the UK this fall for an extensive tour, followed by a Westcoast of Canada swing to end 2026. It’s this tour that will see them stop in Trail on Nov 20th at the Bailey Theatre and in Cranbrook’s Key City Theatre on Nov 21st. Being so close to the holiday season the tour is called Crash Test Dummies -Jingle All the Way and features all of their biggest hits interspersed with seasonal favourites done in the famous CTD style. This show promises to be the fun Xmas show of the Year.

The dynamic and high energy stage show is performed by original members Brad Roberts, Ellen Reid, Dan Roberts, and Mitch Dorge. Joining them are long standing guitarist Stuart Cameron, and relative newcomer Leigh Fleming-Smith, Canada’s very own keyboard whiz-kid.

Crash Test Dummies Jingle all the Way Xmas tour is a presentation of the Kootenay Concert Connection in association with the Vista radio network and the Key City Theatre.
