Blue Rodeo with guest Adam Baldwin made a stop at the iconic National Arts Centre in Ottawa last night and we were there to capture the magic.
Now celebrating their 40th anniversary, Blue Rodeo has proven to be one of Canada’s most enduring and important bands. They have received 31 JUNO Award nominations (winning 12) and 17 CCMA Awards (winning two). Since their formation in Toronto when they electrified the supercool Queen West scene — before dominating the soft-seaters and arenas of the nation — Blue Rodeo has sold more than four million albums, played thousands of shows, been inducted into both the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, received a star on Canada’s Walk of Fame, been named to the Order of Canada and been honored with the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award. The iconic Southam Hall in the National Arts Centre was jam packed for an evening of singalongs. They play one more night in Ottawa before heading west and making several stops in Ontario. Don’t miss them!
Here is what we saw:
