Today, legendary alt-country rockers Blue Rodeo announced they’ll be hitting the road for a brand-new Canadian tour, celebrating an incredible 40 years of music.
Spanning cities from coast to coast, including Brandon, Manitoba on October 18th, this milestone tour honours one of Canada’s most beloved and enduring bands. From their roots in the Toronto club scene to becoming national icons, Blue Rodeo has spent four decades creating the soundtrack to countless Canadian lives — and they’re not done yet. Tickets are available June 6 at 10:00 am at Tickets for Concerts, Sports, Arts, Theatre, Family, Events, more. Official Ticketmaster site or by calling 204-726-3555.
Joining them on all dates is acclaimed singer/songwriter Adam Baldwin, bringing his powerful live energy and East Coast spirit to the stage.
For more than forty years now, Blue Rodeo has taken the road less travelled – and succeeded far beyond anyone’s expectations. The band emerged in the early 80’s as a countrified rock band in the era of hair metal and glossy pop. Despite sticking out like a sore thumb (or maybe because of it), their single “Try” became omni-present on radio across Canada and set in motion a three-decade long career of headlining every club, theatre and arena in Canada. In 1993, when grunge rock was squeezing commercial rock off the radio, they recorded their most acoustic album, Five Days In July, and scored their biggest hit selling over a half million copies of that one record
alone.
Blue Rodeo has received 31 JUNO Award nominations (winning 12) and 17 CCMA Awards (winning two). They’ve sold more than 4.5 million albums, played thousands of shows, been inducted into both the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, received a star on Canada’s Walk of Fame, been named to the Order of Canada and been honoured with the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award
