When releasing new music today, half the battle is online promotion. However, contests, signed merch and giveaways aren’t always the best solutions. When working on their latest album, Hedley came up with a brilliant idea, they decided to make trailers.

Ottawa’s Cisco Bluesfest, now in its 15th year, announced this year’s lineup for the festival to be held in July.
The acts include Feist, the Black Crowes, Brian Wilson, James Taylor, Steely Dan, Ray Davies and Donna Summer, the Globe and Mail reports.
The Tragically Hip and the Sam Roberts Band are also scheduled to play. Not included in this lineup is Blue Rodeo, a band who has played the festival for many years.
The Cisco Bluesfest runs from July 3-13 at LeBron Flats Park in Ottawa.
Staff of a Charlottetown concert hall launched complaints saying the noise was too loud at a recent Blue Rodeo concert and that their hearing was damaged as a result.
Mike Cochrane, chief operating officer of the Confederation Centre for the Arts, said he could not say how loud the concert was because sound levels are not measured, cbc.ca reports.
He said staff did wear ear protection at the show, and were allowed outside to give their ears a break from the noise.
Cochrane added that the hall may look into putting up signs warning patrons that concert level noise may be too loud for some people.
For Blue Rodeo, No. 13 has proven to be lucky. The Toronto band recently released Small Miracles, their 13th full-length album. And Blue Rodeo has only gotten wiser with age.
The album is the unique blend of folk, country and rock that first brought Blue Rodeo to fame. And on Small Miracles, the sound is as good as ever. The songs are well crafted and accessible. This is a country album, but the appeal is much more broad.
Small Miracles pays tribute to the traditions of country, folk and rock but remains contemporary and relevant. It’s soft and relaxing, but saves space for guitar solos and upbeat rock tracks. It’s the kind of album one imagines their parents listening to, but secretly loves.
Tracks like the opener So Far Away stray away from CMT style top 40 country. Instead they fuse stylish piano with dynamic rock riffs to create a sound of their own.
The lyrics are quaint and simple, cashing in on classic themes and metaphors and still avoiding sounding cliché. Blue Rodeo showcases their storytelling techniques with stand out tracks like Summer Girls, a song about waiting to see if a summer fling will turn into something more.
On tracks like Together, the lyrics and slow tempo border on cheesy, but through most of the album Blue Rodeo keeps it together. The middle of the CD starts to wander and bore until C’mon, the first single. C’mon is a fast paced track reminiscing their climb to fame, and is another stand out song.
The album closes strongly with Where I Was Before, an emotional piano led ballad that is a stripped down version of 3 Hour Away, another track on the album. The two approaches to the song prove Blue Rodeo’s capacity for diverse sounds.
Small Miracles transcends traditional genres, and produces a soothing folk sound with upbeat rock instrumentals. It’s a country album for any listener.
Country rockers Blue Rodeo are setting out on a cross-Canada tour this January.
In support of their latest release, Small Miracles, the homegrown group will kick start the tour on January 6 in Alberta and hit 25 cities before ending things off in February at Massey Hall in Toronto.
Opening acts, Luke Doucet and Cuff The Duke, will accompany the rockers for the duration of the cross-country tour.
Pollstar.com reports that the big stops in the Small Miracles Tour will include gigs at the Orpheum in Vancouver (January 14), the Eric Harvie Theatre in Banff, Alberta (January 21), MTS Centre in Winnipeg (January 26), the St. Denis Theatre in Montreal (January 31), Scotiabank Place in Ottawa (February 14), Mile One Centre in St. John’s, Newfoundland (February 22), and the Sports Café in London, Ontario (February 27).
Blue Rodeo delighted fans in downtown Toronto with several surprise gigs around the city on Monday.
The veteran band kicked off its “tour” at Union Station during morning rush hour, as commuters sang along and took pictures.
Armed with minimal equipment, Blue Rodeo traveled by van to several other places including First Canadian Place, Yonge and Dundas, the Black Bull at Queen and Peter Sts., and Air Canada Centre.
The band also stopped by Princess Margaret Hospital, where they performed for an audience of about 100, many of them wheelchair-bound patients or those with IVs.
The band played about five tunes at each stop, including songs from their new CD “Small Miracles,” in stores Tuesday, and older hits “Five Days in May” and “What Am I Doing Here?”
Blue Rodeo will embark on a series of shows in the U.S. next month. Their “Small Miracles” Canadian tour kicks off Jan. 9 in Vancouver.
