The multi-platinum, four-time JUNO Award–winning band will release Keep Out Of The Storm via their own label Right On Records, distributed worldwide by The Orchard.
Their first LP since the departure of longtime drummer Sam Corbett, the album finds the band tapping an impressive roster of guest drummers and friends including JUNO-nominated Trevor Falls, Adam Hindle (Dwayne Gretzky, Born Ruffians), Steve Kiely (Golden Feather), Jordan Murphy (Adam Baldwin, Walrus), and Dani Nash (July Talk).
Ever-independent and fiercely self-reliant, The Sheepdogs have built a career on good vibes, great songs, harmonies, and irresistible live shows. With their own label and their own timeline, the band have embraced a freedom that allows them to release music as often as inspiration strikes — while still honouring their deep love of the long-player format.
Keep Out Of The Storm battens down the hatches and rock’n’rolls with the punches, delivering eleven fresh, salty, high-seas ready tracks including their recent hit single “Nobody But You,” which climbed to #17 Billboard Mainstream Rock (Canada), #14 Active Rock, and was one of the format’s most added tracks this week.

Recorded with longtime collaborator Thomas D’Arcy and produced by the band’s own Ewan Currie, this marks their first full-length since 2022’s Outta Sight and follows a tremendous streak for the band. In 2025, The Sheepdogs completed a sold-out cross-Canada arena tour in support of Bryan Adams, following the release of their twin 2024 EPs Paradise Alone and Hell Together, as well as the launch of Right On Records.
If the EPs Hell Together and Paradise Alone reflected some difficult chapters in Ewan’s personal life — including time spent alone in the Florida Keys — then Keep Out Of The Storm is the flip side: a buoyant, upbeat, hook-heavy search for better weather. Catchy as hell, and paradise for every Sheepdogs fan.
Bassist and manager Ryan Gullen states: “We’re really looking forward to kicking off 2026 with Keep Out of the Storm. These new songs feel like they set the tone for the next chapter of the band. There’s something special about discovering an album as you make it, and in the case of a full length album, you get the space to stretch out, find the groove, and watch it all come together as a whole. Working with a handful of drummers we really respect added new colours and energy to the sessions, and recording everything live in the room brought the songs to life in a way that felt immediate and exciting. We can’t wait for people to hear it and to bring these songs on the road to experience them together.”
Frontman Ewan Currie comments on the forthcoming record: “We are all trying to weather the storms in our lives, big or small, literal or figurative. That's what living is: finding shelter, finding love, finding hope and we find all of those in rock n roll. Don't let the gloomy title fool you; Keep Out of the Storm is full of light and love and guitars that rip and sweet singing that moves you. You'll dance, you'll nod your head, you'll dance and you'll fall in love. As long as there's living, there's going to be stormy weather...it's just all about finding that shelter.”

THE SHEEPDOGS TODAY
A professional DIY powerhouse, The Sheepdogs run the majority of their business in-house — management, marketing, touring, production — and have done so successfully for more than eight years, building a thriving, self-sustaining community.
Their world is denim-toned and joyfully handmade: classic-rock imagery and sound reimagined with modern punch. Proof that authenticity and optimism still matter. It’s the foundation that has earned them sold-out tours, millions of fans, and over 500 million streams worldwide, and enabled them to navigate the stormy seas of the modern music business entirely on their own terms.
“We've been a band for over 20 years, and pretty comfortable with who we are and how we do things. We've lasted this long by staying true to ourselves, doing things our way, and not chasing trends,” says bassist Ryan Gullen. “In a world of content, we believe the best thing a band can offer is music. Funny videos are great — but people ultimately come for the songs.”
The band recently announced UK and EU shows on their Out All Night Tour for next year, with frontman Ewan Currie noting: “We can’t wait to turn it up and bring the rock’n’roll to close out 2026 in style.”
NOBODY BUT YOU
The first single from the forthcoming record, “Nobody But You,” is already making waves.
Frontman Ewan Currie explains: “The twin pillars of love and rock’n’roll come together here in a pure expression of musical bliss. It’s the sound of windows down in your Trans-Am at the end of a workday, the optimism of a long weekend on the horizon. Power-pop vocals and southern-rock guitars burst from your speakers like a double bill of April Wine and Lynyrd Skynyrd — both a testament to the power of rock’n’roll and a tender love ballad.”
ABOUT THE SHEEPDOGS
=Hailing from Saskatoon, Canada, The Sheepdogs have spent two decades proving rock’n’roll is alive and well. Armed with their trademark “guitarmonies” and a fearsome reputation for dynamic live shows, they’ve sold out tours across the globe.
Their 2022 album Outta Sight earned international acclaim and a JUNO nomination for Rock Album of the Year.
In 2024, they returned with twin EPs Paradise Alone and Hell Together, featuring the hit single “Take Me For a Ride” — a #6 Active Rock smash and the latest in a streak of 15 Top 20 singles, including three #1s, amounting to 89 consecutive weeks on the radio charts.
Since 2022, they’ve played more than 275 shows across North America, Europe, the UK and Australia, cementing their reputation as one of rock’s most road-tested bands.
With six albums breaking the Billboard Canadian Albums Top 20, The Sheepdogs aren’t just keeping classic rock alive — they’re writing its next chapter.
