The Sheepdogs with Blackberry Smoke

The Sheepdogs
As a premier force in Canadian rock, The Sheepdogs have built an acclaimed reputation for delivering energetic, soul-infused live performances. Hailing from Saskatoon, the four-time JUNO Award winners boast a decorated career filled with multiple Gold and Platinum records, captivating audiences globally with their signature dual-guitar leads, rich vocal harmonies, and dynamic stage presence. The band has successfully brought their raw, high-octane classic rock sound from local taverns to massive international festival stages. Their relentless touring schedule serves as a nightly testament to fans that authentic rock 'n' roll remains vibrant and vital today. With a deep catalog spanning 14 releases—including their latest project, Keep Out Of The Storm—the group has solidified their place in modern rock history. Now operating independently under their own imprint, Right On Records, The Sheepdogs maintain complete artistic control over their music as they continue to lead the charge for contemporary rock 'n' roll. The Sheepdogs built their name on hard work and determination. Having funded their first three albums and early years of touring on their own, this rock and roll band’s momentum began to build exponentially with the release of the 2010 album, Learn & Burn. The band would go on to win three 2012 JUNO Awards for New Group of the Year, Single of the Year, and Rock Album of the Year. 

Blackberry Smoke
Throughout their multi-decade career, Blackberry Smoke has proudly represented the musical heritage of Georgia by celebrating the sounds, places, and people of their home state. Their 2024 album, Be Right Here, weaves together classic rock, Southern rock, blues, and vintage country, offering vivid, narrative-driven songs filled with deeply relatable characters.
Over the last 20 years, the group has cultivated a highly devoted fan community. This continuous support has propelled their last six studio albums to massive commercial success. Notably, 2021's You Hear Georgia topped the Billboard Americana/Folk Albums chart, while Be Right Here earned a top-five spot on the Top Current Album Sales chart.
Known for their non-stop touring schedule, the band members understand the journey of searching for connection on the road. Backed by their dedicated global fanbase—affectionately called the "Brothers and Sisters"—they create a welcoming, shared community for the legions of listeners who travel worldwide to see them perform. Ultimately, Blackberry Smoke continues to thrive by focusing on optimism, mindfulness, and discovering the silver lining in life.
