I heard The Sheepdogs referred to as a ‘boogie rock’ band, and this encompasses their music entirely. The Canadian quartet won a competition to be on the front of the Rolling Stones magazine, and as the winners, were the first unsigned band to ever appear on the cover. This venture gave them much publicity, and was a great platform from which they were able to push their music to success. Since 2011, the band have won multiple prestigious musical awards, all extremely well deserved.
I was excited, if a little apprehensive to see The Sheepdogs live. I am such a fan of their recordings, that I was worried that their performance wouldn’t live up to my expectations, but I couldn’t have been more wrong! From the moment they came out on stage, I knew that I had made the right decision choosing the gig for my Friday night. The show was brilliant from start to finish. Ewan Currie has the most incredible voice, and his constant dedication to the vocals for the entire 90 minutes didn’t waver once. It is evident from their tight harmonies and instrumental interaction with each other, that they have been playing together for some time, and rather than the sound becoming stale, the ensemble flourish from their years of practice. The whole event was 100% feel good, with the band showing their appreciation to the fans, whilst the crowd got involved singing back their favourite tracks. Notably, when they played The Way it Is, they encouraged us to all sing along, offering out the microphone to the audience. It was great fun, and really makes a difference to the gig experience when you can tell how much the musicians are enjoying pleasing their fans.
