Blue Rodeo and The Sheepdogs

The Sheepdogs, from Saskatoon, Canada, blend rock, roots, and blues, reminiscent of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. Juno winners with multi-platinum sales, they were Rolling Stone's first unsigned cover stars. Now independent, their album "Paradise Alone" highlights their signature harmonies, produced by Ewan Currie, and engineered by Matt Ross-Spang.

Blue Rodeo, formed in Toronto by Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor, is a pillar of Canadian roots rock, blending country, folk, and rock. Known for hits like "Five Days in July," they've won numerous Juno Awards and were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame in 2012. Influenced by Gram Parsons and the Beatles, they found success in the '80s and continue to tour. Noteworthy collaborations include Pete Anderson. Their 2021 album "Many a Mile" reflects their enduring songwriting strength.
