SPILL NEWS: BLUE RODEO’S FIRST ALBUM IN FIVE YEARS – ‘MANY A MILE’ | 2022 CROSS-CANADA TOUR DATES ANNOUNCED

BLUE RODEO’S FIRST ALBUM IN FIVE YEARS – MANY A MILE

BAND ANNOUNCES 2022 CROSS-CANADA TOUR

Today, Canadian music icons Blue Rodeo release their 16th studio album and first in over five years, Many A Mile (LISTEN HERE). Ahead of the album release, the band premiered the music video for the first single last week, “When You Were Wild” (WATCH NOW).

To celebrate, Blue Rodeo will tour Canada coast to coast this winter, performing songs from Many A Mile as well as beloved fan favourites. The band’s 22-date 2022 Canadian tour is on sale today and a full list of tour dates can be found below.

With Many A Mile, 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.

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.
