The group consists of lead singer and guitarist Ewan Currie, bass guitarist Ryan Gullen, drummer Sam Corbett, guitarist Jimmy Bowskill, and Shamus Currie (brother of lead singer Ewan Currie) playing trombone, keyboards, and tambourine. The Sheepdogs became the first unsigned band to make the cover of Rolling Stone in 2011 by winning this contest. They have since grown to popularity in Canada and the United States.
"From the prairie city of Saskatoon, Canada come the Sheepdogs, 4 young gentlemen who revel in the joy of rock n roll so wholeheartedly, it's downright contagious. Sporting the long-haired looks of their musical forefathers, the lads make the most of their 2 guitars, bass and drums combo. Soulful vocalizations, everybody harmonizing, old-school guitar chops winding, riffing and chiming, and a grooving rhythm section that keeps it all going. Having already cemented their reputation as dynamic performers in their hometown, the Sheepdogs now turn their attention to spreading their affection for rock n roll cross-country. They have spent the last year covering the great white north, playing from Vancouver island to Montreal. They have played festivals, headlined a bill during 2007's Junofest, opened for the likes of Matt Mays and el Torpedo, and performed before thousands at 2006's Saskatoon Centennial Celebration. In January 2007 they released their debut LP Trying to Grow, a collection of guitar-driven originals that recall classic rockers like the Stones, CCR, and the Kinks. The album's title-track was featured in a province-wide campaign in their native Saskatchewan. Early 2008 has already seen the completion of their follow-up album, which mixes elements of southern rock and moody soul with gleeful straight-forward rockers. Once again, the boys are hitting the road, spreading their rock n roll revival to the rest of Canada."

Let It Roll
The Sheepdogs Lyrics
Long time ago
I'ma go straight to the show
Good things come
I'ma go straight natural
A new way to roll
Soon to doom us all
But I got to let all that go
And just let it roll
Don't you know?
Lazy river
Cruising nice and slow
Come down and with me
If you got nowhere to go
My heart is empty
My dreams are all I know
But I got to let all that go
And just let it roll
Don't you know?
You know I love you a lot
But I'm just writing to say
I give you all that I got
But you just throw it away
You know I love you a lot
But I'm just writing to say
I give you all that I got
But you just throw it away
You know I love you a lot
But I'm just writing to say
I give you all that I got
But you just throw it away
You know I love you a lot
But I'm just writing to say
I give you all that I got
But you just throw it away
You know I love you a lot
But I'm just writing to say
I'ma go straight to the show
Good things come
I'ma go straight natural
A new way to roll
Soon to doom us all
But I got to let all that go
And just let it roll
Don't you know?
Lazy river
Cruising nice and slow
Come down and with me
If you got nowhere to go
My heart is empty
My dreams are all I know
But I got to let all that go
And just let it roll
Don't you know?
You know I love you a lot
But I'm just writing to say
I give you all that I got
But you just throw it away
You know I love you a lot
But I'm just writing to say
I give you all that I got
But you just throw it away
You know I love you a lot
But I'm just writing to say
I give you all that I got
But you just throw it away
You know I love you a lot
But I'm just writing to say
I give you all that I got
But you just throw it away
You know I love you a lot
But I'm just writing to say

I love how your music grows and evolve, every albumβs a gem, youβre always reinventing and exploring styles you love. Thatβs what music is all about. Thru pioneers, you guys are paving the old road of rock and roll with fresh asphalt for the people of my generation who used to think that making it in this genre was no longer possible. You truly lit the fire for rock and roll that lives in me with Trying to grow and you still add gas to that flame ever since. Thank you guys from the bottom of my heart. Greetings and love from QuΓ©bec, and thanks for keeping Canadian rock as shiny as a diamond. π€π€π»π€πΎ

That piano solo was brilliant. You guys only how to create perfect music. You deserve so much more attention.
Curtis Krumm
You guys rocks!
It's a revival for the good music. It brings back the 70's in its best way.

Melody requires range and dynamics. So many bands out there with so much wasted potential because they have a limited range and limited use of dynamics. Plus there's so many metalhead posers out there that only like noise. They hate music.
Dirceu Silva Andrade
Onde eu estava, que sΓ³ vim a conhecer essa Banda em 2021 π± nos remete aos anos 70 πππ§π·π§π·
