BLUE RODEO IN CONCERT:
Canadian roots rock mainstay Blue Rodeo has been sending fans "Head Over Heels" with their country-tinged sound and lighters-in-the-air concerts for more than three decades. The group has won a dozen Juno Awards in their home country, and they've earned a global fanbase with their approachable sound and unforgettable live performances. They've been called one of Canada's best live bands, and it's easy to see why as co-vocalists Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor tag team anthemic favorites like "Lost Together" and "5 Days in May". Fans looking to catch up with with these veteran rockers won't want to miss them any time they perform favorites from their decade-spanning discography on tour.
BACKGROUND SNAPSHOT:
Blue Rodeo was formed in the early '80s by Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor, two Toronto high school buddies who started playing music together after graduating. Following a stint in New York they returned to Canada and put together a band, and in 1985 Blue Rodeo played their first show at The Rivoli in Toronto. After two years of performing and honing their sound, the group released their 1987 debut album Outskirts to a Top 20 spot on the Canadian charts. A steady string of popular singles and albums followed in the late '80s and '90s, including country chart-toppers like "Try" and "Til I Am Myself Again". Their success continued in the '00s with no less than five Top 10 albums on the Canadian Albums Chart and a star on Canada's Walk of Fame. Over the course of 13 albums Blue Rodeo has won a whopping 12 Juno Awards, and they continue to impress with their time-honored sound and undeniable onstage chemistry every time they tour.
Didn't like the pro-Native song about stolen land!
What a great show I loved it It was the best show I ever saw Jim can really sing
Have gone to many Blue Rodeo concerts in Ontario and this one rates at the top. First they announced that they would be singing six songs from their new CD that's coming out shortly. Can't wait!!!!!! The music is sooooo different than we are accustomed to. As well, they continued to sing songs from all their albums! I think the amazing thing about the whole concert was....the second encore performance was so electrifying... it left you wanting a third and fourth and made you sing the songs on the way home and talk about the concert to others.
Annual event! Wouldn't miss it for the world. Great band. Great venue. Great acoustics. Great back up singers. Big Fan!
My husband and I try to go every year, and every time we go we are never disappointed. Blue Rodeo always gives a outstanding,exceptional performance.Where else can you go that you can bring your family and enjoy a live concert.
It's always great to see Blue Rodeo play at Malkin Bowl. The outdoor venue makes for a relaxing event while chilling on the grass with friends and watching my favourite band! The sound was excellent and even though we were far away, you could see them and definitely hear their fantastic music. Great show and I will go back, rain or shine, every year they come back!
I have seen this band so many times I have lost count. They never fail to put on a good show and I always walk away happy. If you haven't seen them yet do yourself a favour and go.
