Sporting the long hair and scruffy beards of their musical forefathers, The Sheepdogs create old school rock and roll that moves and grooves. Taking their cues from the Allman Brothers, Creedence, Humble Pie and the Stones, these prairie boys have a sound that is completely faithful to their 70s rock roots, while remaining thoroughly original and fresh. Powerful vocals, a twin guitar attack, stacked harmonies, moody keys and steady grooves all blend together to form an engaging batch of originals.
After securing the reputation as the most exciting band to see in their hometown of Saskatoon (and being voted favourite local band by the readers of Planet S magazine), The Sheepdogs have taken their show on the road, playing over 100 shows in the last year across Canada. They have opened for Matt Mays, the Arkells and Tricky Woo, and have played at Junofest, the Western Canadian Music Awards, and the Red Gorilla festival in Austin, TX. They independently released two full-length albums "Trying to Grow" and "The Sheepdog's Big Stand". Both albums have charted on !earshots national monthly top 200 chart, with "The Sheepdog's Big Stand" also charting on college radio stations across the US. With no intentions of letting up, the next 6 months see The Sheepdogs heading back into the studio to record more material, then heading back on the road to tour across Canada and beyond.
I edited my profile with Thomas' Myspace Editor V4.4
Thanks for the add! I'm from southeastern U.S.A. And I really love your music. I never even listen to new music, and by new I mean, after 1980. I only listen to classic rock. However, I happened to stumble across your music, and thought, WOW. You have the most unique 70's style sound to your music. You're the greatest modern band I have yet to find. So keep up the great work, I bought your second album, the first day that I heard your music. I was not able to find your first album anywhere. :( Anyways, good job :P
Leot, thanks for another after party / music convo, let me know if you guys can come out after your show friday, otherwise hope to see you out at the Tam Tam at the Torch tomorrow 2pm rotary park cheers -j
