Rock superstars The Guess Who are from Winnipeg, Manitoba. Initially gaining recognition in Canada, they also found international success from the late 1960s through the mid-1970s with numerous hit singles, including “No Time,” “American Woman,” “These Eyes” and “Share the Land.” Several former members of The Guess Who, notably Burton Cummings and Randy Bachman (of Bachman–Turner Overdrive), have also found considerable success outside the band. The band was inducted into The Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 1987. In 2011, The Guess Who went back into the studio to record three new original songs as part of an upcoming yet unnamed album. The three new songs are regularly rotated through the band’s live performances. The band continues to tour and attracts crowds worldwide.
