The Stampeders... One More Time

From Kim & Rich: The show must go on...Ronnie wouldn't have it any other way. It is with sadness and love that we must announce the passing of our longtime friend and bandmate Ronnie King. The tour that was intended to be his final bow will now, instead, be our tribute to, and celebration of, our beautiful friend and partner. We’ve asked bassist Dave Chobot to join us on this final run. It will be an evening filled with our classic hits, delivered with love….One More Time

‘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 ‘carry you 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 chorus of 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 at Canada's music scene from 1971 until 1976 confirms The Stampeders were truly the country's international musical ambassadors, touring more extensively in Canada and overseas than any other Canadian group during that time.

They’ve been recognized by the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada for their Lifetime Achievement, been inducted into the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada Songwriters Hall of Fame on five occasions and the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame for their 1971 seminal hit Sweet City Woman.

The enduring musical legacy of The Stampeders... One More Time ... “better catch a noon train, better get there for a rock 'n' rolling good time!”
