BTO was founded by the three Bachman brothers: Randy (lead guitar and lead vocals), Robbie (drums and backing vocals), and Tim Bachman (guitar and vocals); along with Fred Turner (bass and lead vocals) in 1973.
They went on hiatus in 2005 before Randy Bachman and Fred Turner reunited in 2009 to tour and collaborate on a new album. The two stopped touring once Turner retired in March 2018.
A couple of special performances followed, scattered throughout the 2010s. Then in 2023, two of the brothers, Robbie and Tim, passed away.
They have six certified platinum albums and one certified gold album in Canada, and in the US they have five certified gold albums and one certified platinum album.
The band has sold around 30 million albums worldwide and the fans are known as the ‘gearheads’.
