Blue Rodeo is undertaking a cross-country tour — 22 cities in eight provinces — starting in Calgary on Oct. 1 and winding up with back-to-back nights at Massey Hall in Toronto in January.
Led by frontmen Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor, the band has sold more than 4.5 million albums, won 12 Juno awards, been inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, named to the Order of Canada and awarded a Governor General’s Performing Arts Award.
“Success seemed real when we were entertaining people in The Horseshoe in our hometown of Toronto,” Cuddy, who attended Queen’s University, stated in a news release issued Monday morning by Slush Puppie Place.
“That was the top of the heap for us,” Cuddy says. “When you look back, you realize it’s just been this beautiful dream.”
Keelor and Cuddy were at Kingston’s Grand Theatre earlier this year for a Q&A after the documentary about the band, Lost Together, was screened as the closing film of this year’s Kingston Canadian Film Festival.
