Blue Rodeo
Monday, November 09, 2009

Gillett Entertainment Group, Live Nation and Mile One Centre are pleased to announce Blue Rodeo will perform in St. John’s on Saturday, January 30, 2010, as part of the band’s cross-Canada tour.

Warner Music Canada is releasing The Things We Left Behind, the band’s 12th studio recording, on Tuesday, November 10, 2009. With 16 songs spread over two discs, the new album is the band’s most ambitious recording yet.

Over their twenty-five year career, Blue Rodeo has sold more than 4 million records, won an unprecedented 5 Juno awards as Group of the Year, been handed keys to the City of Toronto and been inducted onto Canada’s Walk of Fame.

But from arenas in big cities to theatres in small towns, there is nothing Blue Rodeo relishes more than playing music for their fans across the country.

A very special partner on this tour will be “Raise-A-Reader,” which will benefit from every ticket sold. The Canwest Raise-A-Reader Concert Series, presented by Country Inns & Suites By Carlson, was created with Live Nation so artists could lend their voices to support family literacy in Canada.

Raise-A-Reader has raised more than $15 million since the national launch in 2002. Partial proceeds from Blue Rodeo’s tour will be directed to help literacy programs across the country.

Joining Blue Rodeo in St. John’s is Vancouver-based country rockers, The Dustin Bentall Outfit.

Blue Rodeo will appear at Mile One Centre Saturday, January 30, 2010 at 7:30 p.m., doors open at 6:30 p.m.

Tickets go on sale Saturday, November 14, 2009 at 12 noon. Tickets are $40.50 including tax, plus surcharge and can be purchased at the Mile One Centre Box Office; by phoning (709) 576-7657, (toll free) at 1-800-361-4595 or online at www.admission.com.
