Built on the solid classic rock foundation of three-part harmonies and dual guitar leads, Canada’s Juno Award-winning The Sheepdogs blend Southern rock, groove-based psychedelia, and bluesy barroom swagger into a modern rock & roll revival. Emerging in 2004, the band found mainstream success in 2010 with the release of their platinum-selling third LP, Learn & Burn, and continued to top the Canadian charts with efforts like The Sheepdogs (2012), Future Nostalgia (2015), Changing Colours (2018) and Outta Sight (2022).Hailing from the Saskatchewan city of Saskatoon, the band features the talents of Ewan Currie (vocals, guitar), Ryan Gullen (bass), Sam Corbett (drums), Shamus Currie (keyboard/trombone) and Rick Paquette (guitar). From Canadian roadhouses to global music festivals, their on-stage and on-road hours are countless, underscoring their endurance in the music scene. The release of Future Nostalgia and Changing Colours further enriched their discography, leading up to the 2022 release of the jubilant hook-filled Outta Sight, solidifying their impact in the rock domain.
Most recently, their singles from Outta Sight spent a cumulative 90 weeks with at least 1 song in the top 20 at Canadian Rock radio. Prior, their hit singles I Don’t Know and Feeling Good both reached Platinum certification, with The Way It Is achieving Gold sales. Additionally, the albums Learn & Burn and The Sheepdogs both achieved Platinum status, and to date the band has been nominated for 11 Juno Awards, winning four.
Tour support comes from Creeping Jean. Brighton-based indie rock band Creeping Jean have returned with a brand new album, Business Is Dead, released August 2024 on their own Mature Charlton imprint via Townsend Records to rave reviews. Classic Rock Magazine declared it a ‘scorching second album… Brooding but brilliant,’ awarding it 9/10.
Oliver Tooze is Creeping Jean’s charismatic frontman – and the driving force behind the band-run Brighton vintage clothing shop Mammoth. Working away over a hot vintage garment rail, Creeping Jean know all about the vintage business. The band’s retro aesthetic is as much a part of their music as it is their look, infusing their tracks with a timeless rock ‘n’ roll edge while staying distinctly modern. Their knowledge and hustle, which funded both their debut album and this new record, speaks to their commitment and dedication, both to the 60’s and 70’s and to making Creeping Jean work.
This is a 10+ show. Under 16s must be accompanied by an adult.
