The Sheepdogs At The Chapel - August 5

GET TICKETS HERE

Formed in Saskatoon, The Sheepdogs have continued to follow in the footsteps of Canadian rock legends including Neil Young, The Band and The Guess Who with a bold take on classic guitar rock and polished retro sound. The Sheepdogs came into the national spotlight in 2011 as the first unsigned band to appear on the cover of Rolling Stone, and since then have won four JUNO awards and been nominated for seven over their impressive career.

Following the release of their 2015 album Future Nostalgia (Dine Alone Records), The Sheepdogs have brought their raucous live set to thousands of fans across the UK, Europe and North America – including many sold out shows, and 3K-cap venues in Canada The band continues on their North American run including headlining dates in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New Orleans + more, as well as many festivals including Philly Folk Fest in Philadelphia and CMA Fest in Nashville.

Future Nostalgia

Praise for Future Nostalgia:

“The album is fully in the thrall of that 70s groove. Gnarly double guitar noodling ("Downtown") and soft focus drive-time goodness ("Jim Gordon"). "Take a Trip" will make you want to spark up and dance around and make out.” - Noisey

“The Sheepdogs have a bold take on classic guitar rock” – Yahoo! Music

"The Sheepdogs twist classic psychedelic rock with hints of folk and turn it into music that is pure ear candy" - Baeble Music

“[Future Nostalgia is] steeped in the classic and psychedelic rock of the 70′s but also feels like a blast of fresh sounds in a musical landscape in desperate need of (good) bands capable of writing punchy rock and roll tunes.” – Glide

“[‘Take A Trip’] has all of the hallmarks associated with monster '70s rock that ruled the music world” – Pure Volume

Clay Wilson, Justin Green, Spain Rodriguez, Keiji Nakazawa, Suehiro Maruo, Elizabeth McGrath, Timothy Leary, Todd Schorr, Ron English, Laurie Lipton, Diane DiPrima, and countless others.
