Biography

After parting ways with Warner Music Canada in 2022, The Sheepdogs have since been able to buy back a large portion of their award-winning catalogue and will distribute the music along with future releases via Right On Records, through The Orchard worldwide. This newfound freedom has empowered the band to make a major shift in how, and how often, they release music. “We want to keep the music flowing constantly. In a world flooded with content, there’s no better way to stay connected with our fans than by recording and releasing music regularly,” says bassist Ryan Gullen. “With Right On Records, our vision was always to step up the pace—to get our music out there faster and more freely. We have so much more to share, and this gives us the freedom to release it in new and exciting ways.” With newfound independence from their own label, The Sheepdogs have embraced the freedom to stretch out sonically, building the kinds of sprawling guitar jams more typical of their live shows.
