Blackie and the Rodeo Kings are one of the most interesting bands working anywhere today.
Sometimes they’re in a recording studio time warp with more songs to choose from than Gabriel.
Followed by tours and festivals everywhere.
Then they disappear
The punch line to the tale is, the Blackie guys have their own lives, careers and fan bases.
What’s most remarkable is, after more than 25 years, they are still a band and friends.
For Example:
Stephen Fearing is releasing his next album on March 13 – The Empathist. Wildly outstanding music. (We’ll be talking again.)
Stephen starts his Canadian tour at The Carleton Room in Halifax with two sold-out nights Feb 4-5.
Kicks off album release March 13 at Mary Winspear in Sidney, Vancouver Island.
Alberta dates March 21 Festival Place Sherwood Park, March 22 River Park Church Calgary.
Colin Linden
Colin continues to produce artists at his Pinhead Recorders in Nashville.
He’s also been touring with T Bone Burnett. He co-wrote and co-produced T Bone’s latest album The Other Side. Next week Colin starts a new album, just in time to hit the road again.
Colin begins his own tour – The Ride on Tour – on April 23, hitting Calgary on June 1 and Canmore on June 3.

Tom and Terry
Tom Wilson
I’ll just give you the short version.
Re-recording songs, with son Thompson, from his play Beautiful Scars. Writing and recording soundtrack music for a number of projects including a film by Tanya Tagaq. Between his flourishing artwork, writing a new book, and starting a new album, Tom also enjoys the glow of an Order of Canada induction. That’s the short version.

Blackie – The Band.

They are planning shows in Hamilton, Toronto where cameras will be filming. More events to come.
