The Grapes of Wrath You will surely recall the singles All the Things I Wasn’t and What Was Going Through My Head that propelled BC’s very own The Grapes of Wrath to platinum status. One of Canada’s most popular and well-loved bands has re-united to bring us their “soaring harmonies, memorable melodies and shimmering guitar lines” on The ACT stage.
