Blue Rodeo at Budweiser Stage

In the 30 years of the band Blue Rodeo, one formula made them one of the most successful bands in Canada, and that is through "rebelling." During the 80s, an era of metal rock and dance-pop, the country-rock band began releasing songs that stood out from the rest. Their song "Try" from their first album "Outskirts," released in 1987, struck gold. The country-rock tunes of the band gained positive attention. Their first album, especially the single "Try," set the tone of their stardom in the Canadian music scene. In the following years, they released hit songs; the most notable is "After the Rain," released in 1992, which became Canada's most frequently performed song at that time. Numerous accolades have been bestowed upon them throughout their careers, including induction into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, a star on Canada's Walk of Fame, the Order of Canada, and the Governor General's Performing Arts Award.

This year the multi-awarded band is going on tour to promote their 2021 album "Many A Mile." Their sixth stop will be in Toronto, Ontario, at Budweiser Stage on Saturday, August 27. The "Basement Apartment" singer and activist Sarah Harmer will accompany them. Harmer is known for her hits "Silver Road," "Almost," "Pendulums," and "St. Peter's Bay," among many others. Fans of the band and Harmer enjoy the summer by seeing them live in this outdoor concert. Reserve your tickets now!
