records sold worldwide and countless sold-out tours, Rush – Geddy Lee, Alex
Lifeson, and Neil Peart – is not only one of the most inventive and compelling
groups in rock history, but remains one of the most popular. The RIAA® has certified Rush for the third
most consecutive gold/platinum studio albums by a rock band, topped only by the
Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Rush’s
vast catalogue includes such classics as 1974’s self-titled debut, 1976’s 2112,
1981’s Moving Pictures, 1996’s Test For Echo, and 2002’s Vapor Trails. Rush
released their 20th studio album, Clockwork Angels, in 2012 via
Anthem/Roadrunner Records. The
critically-acclaimed collection marks their first studio recording since 2007’s
Snakes & Arrows, and debuted at #1 in Canada and #2 on the Billboard 200,
matching the highest chart debut of the band’s career. In addition to their commercial success, Rush
has also been recognized with a number of Juno Awards and multiple Grammy®
nominations, including one for the acclaimed documentary “Rush: Beyond The
Lighted Stage” and the Allan Waters Humanitarian Award. Enjoying a pop culture renaissance, Rush made
a rare television appearance - their first in over 30 years - on Comedy Central’s
“The Colbert Report” and a memorable cameo in the film “I Love You, Man.” In 2013 Rush was inducted into the Rock and
Roll Hall of Fame to the delight of fans around the world. During the successful Clockwork Angels tour,
The Globe & Mail hailed Rush as “one of the few bands anywhere that just
keeps getting better” while a career-chronicling Rolling Stone feature summed
up the renowned rock trio’s continuing artistic vitality by observing, “It’s
true that Rush doesn’t mean today what it did in ’76 or even ’96. It may mean
more.” Rush will celebrate their 40th anniversary with their last
large-scale tour, R40, visiting 34 cities in North America starting in May 2015
including sold out dates in Austin, San Jose, New York, Toronto, Philadelphia,
Boston, Chicago and ends in Los Angeles at The Forum on August 1, 2015. ABOUT DRUM WORKSHOP INC. Founded in
