On March 25th, 2022, The Dungarees performed at Festival Place in Sherwood Park, Alberta. It was a tribute to Blue Rodeo; specifically, they played Blue Rodeo’s album 5 Days in July in its entirety. They opened the show with “5 Days in May”, which was met with resounding applause and cheers. Between songs, James Murdoch, Robb Angus, Kiron Jhass, and Ben Shillabeer shared what makes them fans of Blue Rodeo, as well as stories from the road.

“Cynthia”, “Know Where You Go”, “Photograph”, “Head over Heels” and “Hasn’t Hit Me Yet” lead into intermission. The show resumed with “Till I Am Myself Again”, “What Am I Doing Here?”. Each interlude was met with chatter from the crowd, which prompted more stories and memories The Dungarees were happy to share. The Dungarees followed up with “Trust Yourself”, the penultimate song being “Try” and they closed out their set with “Lost Together”.
