Saskatchewan band The Sheepdogs have announced they will be making a stop in Swift Current in August.

The Juno Award winning band first came on the scene in 2006 but rose to fame after winning a competition from Rolling Stone Magazine entitled 'Choose the Cover'.

The band eclipsed 15 others to win and were ultimately featured on the August 18, 2011 cover of Rolling Stone magazine, the first unsigned act to do so.

They made appearances on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and performed at the Bonnaroo Music Festival as well The Osheaga Festival in Montreal, Quebec.

The rockers then signed with Atlantic Records with a new album being produced by The Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney in Nashville.

The show will be held at Living Sky Casino Sky Centre on August 27, 2016 at 10:00 p.m.
