Blackie and the Rodeo Kings

BLACKIE AND THE RODEO KINGS (otherwise known as BARK) are a Canadian folk rock/alternative country band with blues and country influences. Formed in 1996, the band is a Canadian supergroup, comprising Tom Wilson, Stephen Fearing and Colin Linden. Now into their second decade and with one JUNO award and several JUNO nominations under their belts, Blackie and the Rodeo Kings have evolved into one of the finest roots-oriented bands in North America. They have released seven CDs and developed a feeling of brotherhood manifested in a sense of groove, timbral blend and melodic and rhythmic play that is distinctive, mystical, energizing and constantly evocative. Blackie and the Rodeo Kings remains one of Canada’s greatest musical treasures.
