THE STAMPEDERS ~ IN CONCERT CELEBRATING 50 YEARS ‘They're on their way, to the city lights’ ... and, THE predominant Canadian Rock ‘n’ Roll band of the 1970s– The Stampeders – are bringing along all their classic hits: Wild Eyes, Carry Me, Oh My Lady, Devil You,Monday Morning Choo Choo, Minstrel Gypsy, Hit the Road Jack and, of course, the quintessential Canadian– and Hall of Fame – song, Sweet City Woman! A veritable soundtrack to a whole generation that will ‘carryyou home’ ... maybe not to Birmingham ... but back to a time of tie-dyed t-shirts and elevator shoes, 15¢coffee and homemade apple pie, dating and dreaming ... By the time The Stampeders get to the first chorusof the first song, everyone will be singing along. No seventies group represented Canada's musical identity to the world like The Stampeders. A quick look atCanada's music scene from 1971 until 1976 confirms The Stampeders were truly the country's internationalmusical ambassadors, touring more extensively in Canada and overseas than any other Canadian groupduring that time. In 1977 the trio: Rich Dodson (lead guitar), Kim Berly (drums) and Ronnie King (bass)parted company but reunited, fittingly at the Calgary Stampede, 15 years later in 1992. Since then they’vebeen recognized by SOCAN for their Lifetime Achievement, been inducted into the SOCAN SongwritersHall of Fame on five occasions and the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame for their 1971 seminal hit SweetCity Woman. The enduring musical legacy of The Stampeders, celebrating 50 years... 'better catch a noon train, better getthere for a rock 'n' rolling good time!’
