The Crescendos

L-R:  Vance Masters (drums), Glenn MacRae (vocals/saxophone), Terry Loeb (guitar), Denis Penner (bass)

They never toured nationally nor appeared on television; they only recorded one obscure single.  Yet while the name may not mean much to most Canadians, Winnipeg's Crescendos accomplished something no other Canadian artist can claim, and in doing so, achieved an immortality that is the envy of every 1960s-era musician.

While every Beatle-haired teenager dreamed of going to Liverpool, this local quartet – Glenn MacRae, Vance Masters, Terry Loeb, and Denis Penner - did just that, in the summer of 1965.  Six months later they were playing the renowned Cavern Club (the only Canadian group ever to do so), home of the Beatles, jamming with Paul McCartney at the Blue Angel, and recording with The Searchers’ Chris Curtis.  Their lone single remains among the most collectable 45s in the UK.
