Get ready to relive the magic of two of the most iconic acts of the new wave era! Shake It Up: The Songs of Elvis Costello & The Cars is a high-energy live concert experience that celebrates the genius of Elvis Costello and the infectious hooks of The Cars. Featuring the incomparable Jacob Moon and a powerhouse 6-piece band, this show dives deep into the dynamic catalogues of both artists. From Costello’s urgent anthems like “Pump It Up” and noir-infused classics like “Watching the Detectives”, to cherished fan favorites and deep cuts like the haunting “God Give Me Strength”, every song is delivered with passion and authenticity. The night also pays tribute to The Cars, with electrifying renditions of hits like “Let’s Go”, the atmospheric “Moving in Stereo”, and the irresistible “Just What I Needed.” Whether you’re a lifelong fan or new to the music, Shake It Up is a nostalgic ride through the soundtracks of a generation—performed live by some of Canada’s most gifted musicians.
