Blue Rodeo

“I didn’t want to talk about it, so I wrote a song about it.” Greg Keelor

Compelled to add their voice to the chorus of voices protesting Prime Minister Harper’s Conservative government, Blue Rodeo has written the modern day protest song “Stealin’ All My Dreams”.

Recorded and filmed on September 9, 2015, the song and video chronicle the failings of the current government and asks the question, “Have you forgotten that you work for me?”

The song and video are available for free download at BlueRodeo.com/StealingDreams. The facts included in the video are also accompanied by articles encouraging the reader to delve further.

Please vote on October 19!

Blue Rodeo’s fifth studio album, Five Days in July has been nominated for the Slaight Family Polaris Heritage Prize!

The Slaight Family Polaris Heritage Prize honours Canadian albums of the past from four distinct time periods: the ’60s & ’70s, the ’80s, the ’90s, and the ’00s (2000-05). Like the Polaris Music Prize, winners and nominees for the Heritage Prize are albums of the highest artistic quality, without regards to sales or affiliations.

Vote for Blue Rodeo’s Five Days in July in the ’90s period here. You only get one ballot so make it count! Voting is open until October 5.
