About ROGERS, RICHIE & ROBINSON: FEATURING THE UNDERCOVERS:
The Undercovers are making classics cool again with new music releases and their incredible live concert event, ROGERS RICHIE & ROBINSON – the songs of Kenny Rogers, Lionel Richie & Smokey Robinson.
On their new tour, fans will hear the brilliance of iconic songs that have become the soundtrack for our lives, reimagined in the Undercovers’ signature stripped down acoustic style. Classics like Smokey’s “Cruising”, Kenny’s “The Gambler” and Lionel’s “Easy.”
Earlier this year, the group gained significant attention with their buzz-worthy reimagining of “The Gambler” – the beloved hit from Kenny Rogers. The music video quickly went viral on YouTube.
Our version of The Gambler blends a reggae-acoustic vibe with soulful harmonies, breathing new life into a timeless classic,” says McMaster. “The fresh twist on the track resonates with fans of all generations. We’re excited to share this song and more on tour, bringing nostalgia and creativity together in every performance.”
They also debuted their stunning new rendition of the hit Motown single, “Shop Around,” paying tribute to their friend and mentor Smokey Robinson, who called the trio’s version of “Ooh Baby Baby” the best cover of his cherished song that he’s ever heard. Watch the official music video on YouTube.
Written by The Miracles lead singer Smokey Robinson and Motown Records founder Berry Gordy, “Shop Around” became a smash hit for The Miracles in 1960, reaching number one on the Billboard R&B chart, number one on the Cashbox Top 100 Pop Chart, and number two on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It was the group’s first million-selling hit record, and the first-million-selling hit for the Motown Record Corporation.
“We tried to imagine how the groove of this classic song might have changed had it been written just ten years later,” says The Undercovers’ Joel Parisien, who takes lead on this track. “Less Miracles, more James Brown and the JB’s. And of course in our usual acoustic, stripped-down style.”
About The Undercovers:
The Undercovers is a musical supergroup consisting of three of Canada’s most respected vocalists. The trio has united to reimagine timeless songs by some of the most iconic artists of all time, but their own career credits are equally impressive. Luke McMaster’s writing credits have sold millions of copies for superstars like Rihanna, and he has collaborated with legends like Smokey Robinson, Lamont Dozier, Felix Cavaliere and Jim Brickman, who he teamed up with for their hit single, “Good Morning, Beautiful.” Joel Parisien is best known as the front man for Newworldson, earning four Juno Award nominations, penning three Top 5 Billboard singles, and headlining festivals around the world. And Kevin Pauls is a Gospel and CCM icon, often sharing the stage with many of his musical heroes such as Gaither Vocal Band, Michael English, Russ Taff, Steve Archer, Steven Curtis Chapman and more.
