We are greatly saddened by the loss of our brother, James Gray. He was in Blue Rodeo for 12 years during which time we made some of our most important music.
He was a brilliant musician and a kind-hearted soul who had his share of demons but left an indelible stamp on our music, our history and on us as people.
He will be greatly missed.
Rest in Peace James.

Following the unprecedented flooding in Southern Alberta, some of the biggest names in music, including Jim Cuddy, are joining forces with business leaders and the Province of Alberta to stage the Halo High Water Benefit Concert on August 4 at the Southern Jubilee Auditorium in Calgary to raise money in support of the Calgary Foundation’s Flood Rebuilding Fund.
The performances will broadcast on CBC TV and Radio and Aboriginal Peoples Television Network in conjunction with a telethon that will enable all Canadians to donate and support the people and communities impacted by the flooding. CBC Music will also broadcast on-demand video of the full show and individual artist’s performances.
Besides Jim, the concert and telecast will feature an all-star roster of talent including Susan Aglukark, Paul Brandt and George Canyon, with more performers to be announced in the coming weeks. Tom Jackson is the event’s Executive Producer and host.
Tickets for the benefit concerts go on sale Saturday, July 20 with details to be posted to the Halo High Water Benefit Concert site, on Twitter and on the Facebook event listing.
Donations will be directed to the Flood Rebuilding Fund at The Calgary Foundation, which will focus on the long-term community needs related to the devastating flooding that turned thriving communities into disaster zones. Direct donations can be made online (thecalgaryfoundation.org), over the phone (403-802-7700) or by cheque (Suite 700, 999 8 Street SW Calgary, AB T2R 1J5).

“At the height of The Great Minden Flood, it took Blue Rodeo’s Greg Keelor only a moment’s reflection to agree to make music for those who lived through it.” — After The Flood benefit concert press release.
It didn’t take Jim Cuddy long to jump on board, either. What evolved from their decision is the After The Flood benefit concert, a fundraiser scheduled for August 3 in Kinmount, ON.
Minden, and the surrounding Haliburton Highlands, hold a special place in Greg’s heart, as they’re in the area that is his current retreat, as well as his boyhood summer cottage.
Proceeds from this show, which will feature a very rare duo performance by just Greg and Jim, will go to The Township of Minden Hills Flood Relief Fund and help undo more than $4 million worth of damages to homes and businesses in Minden. The pair will also be joined by some of Greg’s other musical friends, who’ll be announced in the coming weeks.
After The Flood will start just before dusk on August 3 and end under the stars at the Kinmount Fairgrounds. Tickets are available now from MadeInHaliburton.ca and will be available next week at Organic Times in Minden, Photo Shop in Haliburton, Gateway Variety in Kinmount, Moondance in Peterborough and Kent Bookstore in Lindsay. For more information, call 705-457-1009.

To commemorate this year’s edition of the annual Blue Rodeo show at Toronto’s Molson Canadian Amphitheatre, we’ve produced this beautiful, limited-edition, screen-printed poster, designed by Jud Haynes and printed by Kid Icarus. It would look great adorning the wall of any Blue Rodeo fan.
Quantities are limited, so visit the Store today to order yours. A small number will also be available at the show on August 17. Once they’re gone, they’re gone, so don’t miss out!

Jim will be headlining a very special event in Mulmur, ON, this summer. On August 16, Jim will be joined by friends like Bazil Donovan, Anne Lindsay, Devon Cuddy and Colin Cripps, as well as special guest, Jesse Cook, for the All-Star Jamboree at Lyric Pond.
The concert is in support of challenging inappropriate land use in Mulmur and Melancthon, a cause close to Jim’s heart, as evidenced by his participation in last year’s Soupstock to stop the Megaquarry.
Tickets for the Jamboree can be reserved by e-mail and include a buffet dinner.
