Fraser Valley – Sweet City Woman, Oh My Lady, Minstrel Gypsy, Wild Eyes. So many hits from a band that to this day (ironically) has not been inducted into the Canadian/JUNO Music Hall of Fame !
The Stampeders are coming back to Chilliwack to play the HUB International Theatre at the Chilliwack Cultural Centre on Friday April 6. They last played in town back in 2012 and the place was packed. Expect the same thing this year.

No seventies group represented Canada’s musical identity to the world like The Stampeders. A quick look at Canada’s music scene from 1971 until 1976 confirms The Stampeders were truly the country’s international musical ambassadors, touring more extensively in Canada and overseas than any other Canadian group during that time. In 1977 the trio: Rich Dodson (lead guitar), Kim Berly (drums) and Ronnie King (bass) parted company but reunited, fittingly at the Calgary Stampede, 15 years later in 1992. Since then they’ve been recognized by SOCAN for their Lifetime Achievement, been inducted into the SOCAN Songwriters Hall of Fame on five occasions and the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame for their 1971 seminal hit Sweet City Woman.
