What Is the “Bare Bones” Show?

The Bare Bones format is Bryan Adams’ acoustic concert experience, featuring only Adams on vocals and guitar alongside pianist Gary Breit, who has been his musical collaborator for years. The stripped-back arrangement puts the songwriting front and center — no drums, no bass, no electric guitars. Songs that millions know from arenas and radio take on new depth in this setting, with Adams often sharing stories behind the music and engaging directly with the audience. Fans who attended previous Bare Bones runs at the Wynn have praised the intimacy and emotional connection that the format creates.

Bryan Adams: A Career Spanning Four Decades

Born in Kingston, Ontario in 1959, Bryan Adams has been a fixture of rock music since the early 1980s. His breakthrough came with Cuts Like a Knife (1983), followed by the blockbuster Reckless (1984) — his first #1 album on the Billboard 200 — which spawned hits including “Run to You,” “Somebody,” and “Summer of ’69.” His 1991 single “(Everything I Do) I Do It for You” from the Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves soundtrack spent seven consecutive weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 and became one of the best-selling singles of all time.

Across 18 studio albums, Adams has earned a Grammy Award, nominations for three Academy Awards and five Golden Globes, and induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. He holds the distinction of Companion of the Order of Canada, the nation’s highest civilian honor. Beyond music, he co-wrote the Broadway musical adaptation of Pretty Woman (2018) and is an acclaimed photographer whose work has appeared in Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and GQ.
