Brad Roberts

Fans of Canadian alternative rock have a new way to connect with one of the most recognizable voices of the 1990s. Brad Roberts, the unmistakable baritone behind Crash Test Dummies, announced on January 13, 2026, that he is now available on Cameo, offering personalized video messages directly to fans.

For longtime listeners, it is a surprisingly intimate extension of a career that has always felt a little larger than life.

Police Blotter – January 13, 2026

From Cornwall Ribfest to your inbox

Local fans may remember Roberts from his appearance at Cornwall Ribfest in 2024, where the Crash Test Dummies delivered a crowd-pleasing set that mixed nostalgia with sharp musicianship. Seeing the band live reminded many just how distinctive Roberts’ presence is, from that deep, resonant voice to his dry humour and understated stage style.

Now, that same voice can show up on your phone or laptop.

Through Cameo, Roberts is offering custom video messages that fans can request for birthdays, anniversaries, inside jokes, or simply a friendly greeting from a musician who helped define an era of Canadian music.

You can find his official Cameo page here:

A surge of fan engagement

Since the announcement, fans have been quick to share their excitement online. For many, the appeal is not just novelty. It is access. Roberts has always maintained a certain mystique, and Cameo offers a rare, personal touchpoint without breaking the low-key persona he is known for.

It also reflects a broader trend of established artists finding new ways to connect directly with audiences, especially those who have followed them for decades.

A busy 2026 for Crash Test Dummies

The Cameo launch comes at a moment when Crash Test Dummies are very much back in the spotlight. The band has already confirmed several notable performances for 2026, including:

  • A benefit concert in Toronto on February 19, 2026, drawing attention both for its cause and for the band’s continued relevance
  • An international tour of Australia beginning in March 2026, marking another chapter in the group’s long global reach

For a band often associated with the 1990s, the current wave of activity shows they are far from a nostalgia act running on autopilot.

Why this matters to fans

Brad Roberts joining Cameo is not just a novelty announcement. It is a reminder that artists who shaped entire soundtracks of our lives are still creating, performing, and finding new ways to meet their audience where they are now.

For Seeker readers who sang along at Ribfest, wore out old CDs, or discovered Crash Test Dummies years after their radio peak, this feels like a small but meaningful bridge between past and present.

And for those looking for a unique gift or a distinctly Canadian pop culture moment delivered straight to their screen, that unmistakable voice is now just a request away.
