Biography

Built on the solid, classic rock foundation of three-part harmonies and dual guitar leads, Canada's Juno Award-winning Sheepdogs blend Southern boogie rock, groove-based psychedelia, and bluesy barroom swagger into a modern rock & roll revival. Emerging in 2004, the band found mainstream success in 2010 with the release of their platinum-selling third LP, Learn & Burn, and continued to top the Canadian charts with efforts like The Sheepdogs (2012), Future Nostalgia (20155), Changing Colours (2018), and Outta Sight (2022). Based out of the Saskatchewan city of Saskatoon, the band features the talents of Ewan Currie (vocals, guitar), Jimmy Bowskill (guitar), Ryan Gullen (bass), and Sam Corbett (drums), plus Ewan's brother Shamus on brass and keyboards. The group released three full-length independent albums (Trying to Grow (2006), Big Stand (2008), and the Juno Award-winning Learn & Burn (2010]) before appearing on the cover of Rolling Stone in August 2011 after winning the magazine’s “Choose the Cover” competition. The hard-touring band released a new EP, Five Easy Pieces, later that year, followed by their eponymous fourth studio album in 2012. Produced by The Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney, the acclaimed Sheepdogs became the group's second album to be certified platinum. In July 2015, the band issued the single "Downtown" in anticipation of the release of their fifth long player, Future Nostalgia, later that October. The LP was nominated for Rock Album of the year at the 2016 Juno Awards. Changing Colours, the band's sixth studio effort, followed in 2018, and featured the single "I've Got a Hole Where My Heart Should Be." 2022 saw the release of the jubilant and hook-filled Outta Sight. ~ James Christopher Monger, Rovi
