‘AMERICAN IDIOT’ WITH CALHOUN + ATHENS THEATRE

We had the best time as the band for Calhoun and Athens State theatre’s production of ‘American Idiot’!

Anyone who knows us, knows we’ve been personally moved by this album. This wasn’t our first time playing for a production of the rock opera, either - in 2019, Joe played guitar as part of Lyrique Music Production’s ensemble.

Joe Canada was honored to lead as Music Director of Calhoun Theatre Productions's American Idiot in July 2023. During this time, he directed the band during rehearsals and live performances, adapted musical scores to suit the talents of the ensemble, and delivered a powerful tribute to the rock giants. AC Segler accompanied on electric lead guitar (his years of Green Day Rockband finally paying off), and Mac Macdonald played second guitar and acoustic - American Idiot was a welcome departure from his usual funk taste.

If you missed out, don’t worry - Joe will be musical director of the Evil Dead Musical with Calhoun and Athens State Theatre in November 2024.
