The Grapes of Wrath was formed in 1983 by Chris Hooper, Tom Hooper and Kevin Kane. After the release of five albums they became one of Canada’s most successful pop bands before disbanding in 1992. In 2000, Kane and Hooper began working together again, with drummer Matt Brain. In the years since, they have realized that fans continue to follow their music, and they now play to packed festivals throughout the province.
