Regardless of where your musical preferences fall on the spectrum I can almost bet that every Canadian is familiar with Blue Rodeo. First established in 1984 by Jim Cuddy and Greg Keelor, October 26, 2023 marks the 30th anniversary of Five Days in July, the band’s firth and most commercially successful album, it has been certified six times platinum as of 2008. What better way to celebrate than with a tour and a, nearly, 3 hour party?
Jim Cuddy Rolls Through Kingston
March 28th, Jim Cuddy brought his band to the Grand Theatre in Kingston on their Constellation Tour. We know Jim as one of the founding members and creative forces behind Blue Rodeo, but he doesn’t sit idle between Blue Rodeo projects. Jim’s style of storytelling in his music makes him one of Canada’s best known songwriters. Constellation is Jim’s fourth solo album and many of the songs were introduced early in the concert. The title track is about a friend of Jim’s who passed away recently. It deals with some of the more sobering aspects of life, such as our own mortality.
