The Sadies

Hello everyone,

We’re packing up the van and pointing it East for a quick run through the Maritimes. A part of the country we’ve always loved, and we’re looking forward to these rooms.

It has been years since we’ve played PEI, and we’re glad to finally make it back this Thursday. We’ll be joined by Terra Lightfoot and her amazing band, and we think this night is going to feel special.

We are honoured to be returning to the Harvest Music Festival in Fredericton, NB. This festival holds particular meaning for us: three of the songs on our new live album “Gord Downie, The Sadies, And The Conquering Sun: Live at 6 O’Clock” were recorded here in 2014. To come back more than a decade later, carrying that history with us, means a great deal.

And it’s always great to return to Halifax. We’ll be at the Seahorse Tavern on Saturday with Terra Lightfoot - a good room with good people. Hope to see you there.

❌ Just Announced! ❌

The Sadies

The Sadies formed in Toronto in 1994 and quickly became known for a sound that blends classic roots music with adventurous rock ’n’ roll energy. Drawing from country, western, surf guitar, garage rock, psychedelia, and cinematic instrumental traditions, the band developed a style that feels both timeless and unpredictable. Their music is built on strong songwriting, sharp guitar work, and a clear love for genre-crossing experimentation.

Over the years, The Sadies earned a reputation as both a powerful live band and sought-after collaborators. They worked with a wide range of artists including Neko Case, Jon Langford, John Doe, and Gord Downie, expanding their musical world far beyond their own albums. This openness to collaboration and variety became a defining part of their identity, helping them stand out within the alternative country and roots-rock scene.

Following the death of founding member Dallas Good in 2022, The Sadies faced a major loss that deeply impacted the band and their community. Even so, their music continues to carry the spirit of what made them unique: intensity, craftsmanship, and a fearless approach to style. With a legacy built on decades of acclaimed releases and unforgettable performances, The Sadies remain an influential and respected name in modern roots and rock music.
