UPDATE - 3/28@10:20AM: It looks like current Barenaked Ladies keyboardist Kevin Hearn will also be participating in the show according to this Instagram post where he's rehearsing with Alex and the Rheostatics. Hearn has a long history of collaboration with the Rheostatics and has performed live with them many times in the past (thanks John R).
