On July 9, American comedian, actor, writer and musician Wheeler Walker Jr. brought his Spread Eagle Tour to the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, BC.

American songwriter-producer Matt Koziol kicked off the night with his blues rock and soulful sound. With this sense of humour, he built an immediate bond with the rowdy crowd.

Wheeler Walker Jr., aka Ben Hoffman, is still touring to promote his latest album Ram released in September last year by Pepperhill Music. Ram followed his 2022 album Sex, Drugs & Country Music and marked a return to his southern rock roots. The album, produced by Dave Cobb, features energetic singles like “Money N’ Bitches,” “Born to Fuck,” and “Fingerblast.” The song “Fuck This Job,” inspired by Oliver Anthony, became a viral hit on TikTok, with over 8.2 million views in the first 24 hours and 10.2 million to date.

With Ram, Walker Jr. transitioned from country to rock and roll, drawing inspiration from bands like ZZ Top, Aerosmith, and Guns N’ Roses. As experienced on Tuesday night, during his performances, he mixes humour with his expressive hits, engaging the audience who laugh, smile, and sing along.

Wheerl Walker Jr. will be on tour in the US until July 20. More info on his website.
