Just announced – two shows for Blue Rodeo fans in the Lindsay, ON and Cobourg, ON areas.  On December 6 Blue Rodeo will be performing at the Lindsay Agricultural Society Exhibition Building.  Presale tickets will be available through the BlueRodeo.com Store on Thursday, October 30. On November 19 get yourself to the Park Playhouse Theatre in Cobourg, ON for an evening with the Jim Cuddy Band. This show will also be available on Thursday, October 30 to BlueRodeo.com members through our Store. But hurry as these limited, very exclusive seats won’t last long!

And while you are in the BlueRodeo.com Store, we’ve put together a couple of gift packages just in time for the holiday season.  Keep yourself warm this winter with a BlueRodeo.com toque and scarf.  Or pick up our “Small Miracles” concert bundle – t-shirt, CD and tote bag.  These gift sets will be on sale for the remainder of the year, but get your orders in soon to ensure Christmas delivery.  More details on holiday cut-off dates can be found here.

We have been given a very limited number of tickets to a private screening of the Blue Road DVD.  Check out a trailer of this documentary below. The DVD captures an intimate jam session as we sit in on the band playing a few of their favourite cover songs as well as two new tracks. The Blue Road documentary also includes footage of the band on the road and backstage during their Small Miracles Tour.

This screening party will be happening at Toronto’s Camera Lounge (1028 Queen Street West – just west of Ossington) on November 9 (time still to be announced).  We have three pairs of tickets that we will give to three randomly drawn entries. To enter, send your name, address, and daytime phone number to help@BlueRodeo.com by November 4 at 11:00 pm EST.  Winners will receive two passes to the screening where there’s a chance they might bump into a band member or two.

The fine print: only one entry per household, tickets non-transferable, transportation / accommodations are not provided, winners must be 19+.

Earlier this year, at the end of February, Blue Rodeo played three wonderful shows at Massey Hall in Toronto, ON.  For those of you lucky enough to be there on those bone-chillingly cold winter nights, you witnessed the guys warming the hometown crowd with a couple of hours of classic Blue Rodeo.

On October 28, Blue Rodeo will release Blue Road, a live recording of select songs from those performances.  In fact, it’s the first ten songs of the night, all performed acoustically. Track list includes “Try”, “5 Days in May”, “Rebel”, “Bad Timing” and more.

But that’s not all!  Blue Road also has an accompanying DVD – Live at Massey Hall Bootleg.  Those ten songs were captured and are presented on this DVD for you to relive those nights.

Would you like more? How about a documentary by Juno-winning video director, Christopher Mills.  See behind-the-scenes outtakes in Greg’s home studio and the guys performing a handful of cover songs, “in the round”.

We’ll have a presale for you right here at BlueRodeo.com coming up very soon, and will have a little something extra for those that purchase the CD/DVD.  All the details will be released in a couple of days so watch the news section, subscribe to the newsletter, and get on the Boards – make sure you don’t miss this great sale!
