This winter, Blue Rodeo return to the road, in support of Many A Mile. Taking the album plus all their hits from coast to coast, don’t miss one of their 22 stops across Canada in 2022 featuring a performance in Ottawa at Canadian Tire Centre on Friday, Feb. 11.
With their superb 16th studio album Many A Mile (out Dec. 3), legendary alt-country/rockers Blue Rodeo discovered that even nightmares like COVID-19 can have silver linings. After decades of non-stop performing, time off the road granted them (enforced, really) much-needed downtime during which creativity bloomed. Pandemic protocols also meant recording in novel ways, with Blue Rodeo co-singer/songwriters Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor working separately, while sharing band members – bassist Bazil Donovan, drummer Glenn Milchem, keyboardist Michael Boguski, guitarist Colin Cripps and multi-instrumentalist Jim Bowskill – on a rotating but relaxed basis.
Tickets can be purchased by visiting ticketmaster.ca or canadiantirecentre.com and will be available to the general public on Friday, Dec. 3, at 10 a.m.
The resulting 12 songs are remarkably coherent, energized, and buoyed by a constellation of surprising textures and touches. From the twinkly, delicate Symmetry of Starlight – which soars on luminous pedal steel and angelic harmonies – to the twangy, seriously rollicking singles When You Were Wild and I Owe It to Myself, Many A Mile is a snapshot of a peerless group at their peak. The album is also a fitting addition to Blue Rodeo’s canon of achievements which include the Order of Canada, induction in the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, a star on Canada’s Walk of Fame, the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award and more than 30 JUNO Award wins and nominations.
