Olympics & Strumbellas Fever!

Tonight is the long-awaited Jim Beam & The Strumbellas show at the Roxy! But for the rest of the world, it's still Olympics fever - which is why it's perfect that CBC's Rio2016 summer Olympics montage is set to "We Don't Know" off of The Strumbella's latest album, Hope, which came out this spring. Check out the video below to pretend you're in Rio and enjoy the super-Canadian coverage, thanks to these talented Torontonians.
