Blue Rodeo

It has been a very busy month of November for Blue Rodeo with no signs of stopping. Tonight, November 24, the guys are in Victoria, BC followed by two nights this Thursday and Friday in Vancouver, BC.  Jim and Greg will find time to be guests on The Hour with George Stroumboulopoulos this Wednesday, November 25.  And then this Sunday, check out the CFL Grey Cup to hear Blue Rodeo on the halftime show.

If football is not your thing, and you’re a SiriusCanada satellite radio subscriber, tune into the Iceberg85 Sunday night to hear a recording of Blue Rodeo live from the Molson Amphitheatre this past August.

And a reminder for all of you holiday shoppers.  To ensure that anything you order from the BlueRodeo.com Store arrives before December 25 international customers should place orders no later than December 1, and customers in North America should order by December 11.  While we try our very best, we can’t guarantee delivery dates, so please do your shopping as soon as you can!

Ladies and Gentlemen…”Arizona Dust”!

Alliance Films announced today that Greg Keelor and Blue Rodeo will score the soundtrack for an upcoming comic western titled GUNLESS. The film, scheduled for release in Spring 2010, stars Paul Gross and Sienna Guillory. Check out a trailer of the film at Gunless.ca.

Earlier last week, Blue Rodeo celebrated the release of their new double album by throwing a roof top concert in downtown Toronto. Check out this video of “One More Night” captured that beautiful November afternoon!

To celebrate the launch of their new double album, The Things We Left Behind, Blue Rodeo are throwing a street party in their hometown of Toronto. The band will perform selections from the new album from the roof of the Diesel Playhouse (55 Blue Jays Way) at 2:30 pm on Tuesday, November 10. The City of Toronto is closing off both Blue Jays Way and Mercer Street that afternoon for the special public performance.

Congratulations to BlueRodeo.com members getfit, Ann, Cruisegirl93, Virginia and paisleee who each won a pair of tickets to be on the roof for this show.

If you weren’t lucky enough to get on to the roof, you’re welcome to come on down and join the party on the street. You’ll be able to watch the performance on large screens set up in front of the venue.

BlueRodeo.com is excited to announce a cross-Canada 2010 tour that will take Blue Rodeo to over 30 cities. After kicking things off in Calgary on January 5, the band will hit the prairies, Northern Ontario, Quebec, Atlantic Canada, return to Southern Ontario and then wind up in Sault Ste Marie on April 10.  See the full tour itinerary on the Tour page.
