About This Performance

The definition of a rebel is someone who goes against the grain. For close to forty years now, Blue Rodeo has taken the road less traveled – 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 omnipresent 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, 5 Days In July, and scored their biggest hit selling over a half million copies of that one record alone.

Now, with their 16th Warner Music Canada studio album – Many A Mile – Blue Rodeo’s successes are measured in terms that include induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame (2012), receiving a Governor General’s Performing Arts Award (2014) and acknowledgment that the band has steadfastly defined itself by its own terms, and in the years that ensued, sold in excess of four million records.

Reflecting back on nearly four decades of successes and those early Blue Rodeo days, both Jim and Greg are able to fully appreciate where the band sits in the pantheon of music. “Success seemed really real when we were entertaining people at The Horseshoe. That was the top of the heap for us,” Cuddy says. “When you look back, you realize that it has just been this beautiful dream.”

The Frontiers

The Frontiers embody reckless abandonment, they are the quintessential “rock out” band. This energy paired with a unique flavour of pop-rock originals makes the group an explosive ingredient to any event. The robust sound of The Frontiers is filled with ingredients of country, folk, rock and pop. The group was the Calgary Flames first ever in-game band from 2019 – 2023 and has rocked stages across western Canada and shared their music at over 1,500 gigs in 10 years. There’s no slowing down the wave that is carrying the project to infinity and beyond!
