Times & Transcript staff

One of Canada's premiere bands is coming to Moncton to perform Jan. 24 at the Moncton Coliseum.

The Gillett Entertainment Group and Live Nation announced that Blue Rodeo will be stopping in the hub city on their Atlantic leg of a cross-Canada tour to promote their 12th studio album "The Things We Left Behind" released this week on Warner Music in Canada and TeleSoul Records in the United States.

The group has also released two live albums, a greatest hit collection and an award-winning DVD, selling four million records and winning five Juno awards as Group of the Year during their quarter century together.
Touring with them is The Dustin Beltall Outfit.

The tour begins in Calgary on Jan. 5 and is expected to include 30 venues across the country. East Coast stops include Moncton, Saint John, Halifax and St. John's.

Tickets for the Moncton show will be available Saturday at the Moncton Coliseum Box Office or by calling 857-4100. Cost is $40.50 plus service charge.

The new album with 16 songs on two discs is the band's most ambitious recording and will be available in CD, vinyl and iTunes LP formats and include interactive album notes and photos and a special acoustic performance of four of the new songs.

The tour also benefits the "Raise-A-Reader" program, with part of the money from ticket sales going towards literacy projects in Canada. The program raised more than $15 million since it began in 2002.
