Shantero Productions Presents THE STAMPEDERS… ONE MORE TIME.
The Stampeders, Canada's predominant rock 'n' roll band of the 1970s, are performing their classic hits: Wild Eyes, Carry Me, Oh My Lady, Devil You, Ramona, Minstrel Gypsy, Hit the Road Jack, and Sweet City Woman — the Hall of Fame song that became a Canadian anthem. From 1971 to 1976, no other Canadian group toured as extensively at home and abroad, establishing The Stampeders as the country's international musical ambassadors.
The trio of Rich Dodson (lead guitar), Kim Berly (drums), and Ronnie King (bass) parted ways in 1977 and reunited 15 years later in 1992. Since then, they've received SOCAN Lifetime Achievement recognition, been inducted into the SOCAN Songwriters Hall of Fame five times, and been honored in the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame for Sweet City Woman.
In March 2024, Ronnie King passed away. In his final days, he insisted the band continue. Dave Chabot, a renowned bassist and longtime friend, steps in on bass for this tour. At every show, Rich and Kim share stories from over 50 years on the road and pay tribute to Ronnie with a retrospective video.
By the first chorus, the audience will be singing along to a soundtrack that carries generations back to tie-dyed t-shirts, elevator shoes, and the spirit of the 1970s.
