The Sheepdogs

A Canadian blues rock and Southern rock band from Saskatoon, The Sheepdogs play Band On The Wall in Manchester's Northern Quarter, with guitarist Steve Hill as support act.

The Sheepdogs formed in Saskatoon in 2006 and play blues rock and Southern rock. Signed to Atlantic Records, they released their debut album, Trying to Grow, in 2007. The band has won four JUNO Awards and holds several Gold and Platinum records, with thirteen releases to date, including the companion EPs Paradise Alone and Hell Together. They now run their own label, Right On Records, and their latest single is Nobody But You.

On stage, the sound rests on dual guitars and vocal harmonies, delivered in a loose, soulful rock style. Their career has taken them from bars to festival stages and arenas abroad, and their recent material continues the classic rock tradition they are associated with.

Steve Hill, a Canadian guitarist, is the support act on this tour. Active since the early 1990s, Steve Hill released a first album in 1997 and has made thirteen albums over more than thirty years of touring. Band On The Wall is a concert and performance venue in Manchester's Northern Quarter, and the night suits fans of classic rock and Southern rock.
