Last week, Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor were appointed Officers of the Order of Canada!

The ceremony took place at Rideau Hall and they received this incredible honour alongside astronaut Chris Hadfield, former Bank of Canada governor Mark Carney, and others.

More photos from the ceremony can be found on Blue Rodeo’s Facebook page.

For the first time ever (domestically!), Blue Rodeo’s fourth studio album Lost Together has been reissued on heavyweight vinyl. Originally released in 1992, Lost Together features “Rain Down On Me”, “Lost Together”, “Flying” and many more classics.

Grab your copy today in the BlueRodeo.com Store and while you’re at it, watch the band perform “Lost Together” from early last year in Halifax!

Today’s the day – Live At Massey Hall is available now! This 14-track collection was recorded live at the legendary Massey Hall on Blue Rodeo’s 2014 In Our Nature tour and features selections from that album as well as classics like “Rose Coloured Glasses”, “Bad Timing”, “Lost Together” and more.

Check out the album trailer below and then be sure to buy, download or stream the album from your preferred retailer!

“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.
