Allen is the perfect on-stage foil for Naked, whose open-book attitude can lead to some very personal revelations. It’s the third marriage for Torbert, whose prior unions she admits were not great fits, personality-wise. Naked moved to Toronto from Vancoucver in 2018 with her husband and bandmate, guitarist Steve Allen. “Having been a performer since the fifth grade, I just don’t know any other way to do something,” she said with a laugh. She’s a natural, exceptionally funny storyteller, so fans of the Spaceman and I Love Myself Today singer will be endlessly entertained by both her music and musings. Much like her prior performance, her concert Saturday will feature both songs and stories. Naked is at the Mary Winspear Centre in Sidney on Saturday, her first performance in the area since 2016.

“Even when I was in the depths of despair in chemo, my hair was gone, my scalp hurt, and I was gonna hurl, if someone asked me how everything was, I only knew how to answer, ‘Awesome!’ And that is something I definitely attribute to being a performer. Her perpetually upbeat attitude suggests she is perfectly suited to the job. Naked, 50, is now pursuing her death doula certification, which accredits support workers who provide care to the dying. She only grew stronger and more committed to bettering herself and those around her. A lumpectomy and subsequent chemotherapy did little to stifle her spirits. Naked appears to know very little about such matters, having found the gumption to joke with her doctor mere seconds after receiving her diagnosis at age 37. In some cases, things come to pass that irredeemably suck, plain and simple. “They say everything happens for a reason, right?” “If I never would have been a cancer patient, I never would have come into volunteering,” Naked, whose real name is Beth Torbert, said Thursday from a Kelowna tour stop. The trickle-down effect has resulted in Naked, who is now cancer free, training to become a death doula. Being diagnosed with the disease exposed her to cancer wards, which in turn gave her insight into frontline workers in cancer-related areas of the medical profession. The Juno-nominated rocker looks at the lump (now gone) in terms of what it gave her (a passion for volunteering), rather than what it took. Take her 2008 breast cancer diagnosis, for example. Even when it comes to dealing with a life-altering disease. Tickets: $55.65 from 25 or marywinspear.caīif Naked always accentuates the positive. Where: Mary Winspear Centre, 2243 Beacon Ave., Sidney
