Blue Rodeo is coming to Brandon this fall. The band is scheduled to perform on Oct. 18 at the Keystone Centre’s Westoba Place.
Tickets go on sale this Friday at 10 a.m., but members of the Blue Rodeo Fan Club can buy tickets today.
Brandon is one of 27 venues Blue Rodeo is scheduled to play across the country on its 40th Anniversary Tour, which takes the musicians from Victoria to Halifax beginning Oct. 1 and ending January 2026.
The seven-member Canadian band has won 12 Juno Awards, two awards from the Canadian Country Music Association, and has been inducted into both the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame.
Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor founded Blue Rodeo in 1984. Since then, the group has sold more than 4.5 million albums, been named to the Order of Canada and honoured with the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award.
Cuddy said as he reflected on four decades of success that all band members appreciate the influence Blue Rodeo has had.
“Success seemed real when we were entertaining people in The Horseshoe in our hometown of Toronto. That was the top of the heap for us,” Cuddy said in a news release. “When you look back, you realize it’s just been this beautiful dream.”
Blue Rodeo’s debut album, “Outskirts,” was released in 1987 with the single “Try,” which won Juno awards for Single of the Year and Video of the Year.
Additional singles released in the 1980s and 1990s include “Diamond Mine,” “Lost Together,” and “’Til I Am Myself Again.”
The band’s biggest selling album is “Five Days in July,” which was recorded at Keeler’s farm in southern Ontario in 1993. It reached platinum status at more than half a million copies sold.
In April, Canada Post unveiled a commemorative stamp with Blue Rodeo’s current lineup: Jim Cuddy, Greg Keelor, Mike Boguski, Jimmy Bowskill, Colin Cripps, Bazil Donovan and Glenn Milchem.
Joining the band on all dates is Adam Baldwin, Canadian indie rock singer-songwriter based in Dartmouth, N.S.
