SPOKANE, Wash. -

It’s hard to argue with the statement McConkey Auction Group chief executive officer Bob McConkey made Wednesday when announcing details for DAA Northwest’s Rock & Roll Sale.

“After the year we’ve all been through, we are ready for a party,” McConkey said in a news release, announcing the headlining musical act for the auction’s signature promotional event that will feature The Barenaked Ladies (BNL) on the DAA Stage.

Now in its 26th consecutive year, DAA Northwest’s Rock & Roll Sale will take place on Aug. 25-26.

“Last year’s pandemic caused us to shift gears with a virtual concert featuring our longtime house band, The Cronkites, on the auction’s rooftop,” McConkey said. “They did a great job, but I’m excited to have them off the rooftop and on our stage opening for The Barenaked Ladies.”

MAG highlighted BNL was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2018, has its own ice cream flavor (Ben & Jerry’s Barenaked Ladies If I Had a Million Flavors), and has sold 15 million records worldwide.

As a dynamic, live headliner with hits like “One Week,” “Pinch Me,” and “The Big Bang Theory Theme,” MAG is confident the band will entertain DAA’s invited guests.

The private concert is part of DAA Northwest’s two-day Rock & Roll Sale, which includes:
