Produced by the National Film Board of Canada in co-operation with the National Arts Centre and the Governor General's Performing Arts Awards Foundation.

Blue Rodeo has been travelling the highways and back roads of Canada for almost 30 years. “We always thought, if they had a place where we could play, we’d go,” says singer-songwriter Jim Cuddy. And the band has been true to this credo, bringing their music to audiences far and wide, and building a passionate and dedicated fan base as a result. At their shows, the expressions on the faces in the crowd say it all: concert-goers are transported inwardly to moments in their lives that remain vital in their hearts. Blue Rodeo: On the Road follows this iconic band on the last leg of their 2014 tour, and revisits their early days through found footage. The film captures the essence of a band that is forever moving forward—and always finding inspiration for their songs in the landscapes and people of Canada.
