Performance: Walk Off The Earth
Walk Off The Earth is a Juno Award winning multi-platinum musical phenomenon from Burlington that was thrust onto the international stage in 2012 and continues to take the world by storm. They gained international recognition in January 2012 with their YouTube cover of Gotye and Kimbra’s “Somebody That I Used to Know,” where all members played on a single guitar. The video quickly amassed over 70 million views in two months. The full-length album achieved gold certification in Canada and featuring the double-platinum single “Red Hands”. In the past couple of years they’ve notched a top 10 single in Canada for 30 straight weeks, and made it all the way to the top of the Pop Album chart in the US. The eccentric group continue to find new ways of keeping their own music and covers not only fresh by blending rock, reggae, pop and folk, but fun with their unique instrumental choices and artist appearances which continually engage their loyal WOTElings!
