Bird Dog Theatre and Studios

05/02/2026

Well folks... we sure had us a time at the Bird Dog last night! Colin Linden was everything, and way more than we could have asked... His guitar playing just left everyone single one of the lucky folks that came, almost speechless... and his songwriting and singing finished them off:)
He was a joy to have at the theatre and everyone loved him! It was wild for me to see a blues player that was obviously, absolutely filled with joy while he sang the blues...Haha, is that even legal:)
Thanks also Jason Cabanaw for the great audio work (as always) and for fixing a lighting issue enough to get through the concert..and...for these photos...
Big thanks to Jan Preece for making some snacks for all of us and bringing them over. What a nice neighbour to have here! We'd also like to thank all of you people that came out to support live roots music and some of you even came from so far... We are beyond thrilled with with that!!!
Suzanne and I are off to the UK tomorrow to start our 4 week long tour there, but we'll see you back at The Bird Dog on June 19th for our show with Duane Steele!!! https://bandzoogle.com/controlpanel/calendar_features/1254341/events Town of Hardisty Flagstaff County Sandhill Supply Ltd.

Hey there, folks... Well, today's the day!!! We're heading to the Bird Dog to get ready for Colin Linden's show with us tonight...

We got up early to cook him a nice home cooked supper to make him feel at home and welcomed in Town of Hardisty, as I know every person that comes will too...

We also spent a few days at the theatre this week hanging the track for our new back drop curtain, and it looks just amazing! I think it was worth the risk of standing so high up on the second last rung of that huge ladder, trying to reach the ceiling... I think it will even make the sound better than it was...Is that even possible:)

There are still a couple of tickets left for Colin's show, you can get them at the door, or on our website... Here's one last video of Colin being as amazing as he always is!!! Can't wait!!!

Hey there, folks... We are so excited for Colin Linden's show coming up this Friday night!!! Still can't believe he's coming to Town of Hardisty! A few tickets still available...

We are also excited, and very proud to announce the rest of our artists for 2026...

We are heading off on our "Rocky Mountain Roots" tour of the UK right after Colin's show, so we might not answer the phone right away. We'll get back to you though... Haha, we'll most likely be too busy driving on the left side of the road, shifting gears with our left hand, while enjoying those crazy multi lane roundabouts:) Sandhill Supply Ltd.

So happy for Colin Linden being included on three songs on Ringo Starr's new album! We're going to go out and buy that album today! How crazy is it that Colin will be at Town of Hardisty's own Bird Dog Theatre and Studios this Friday night, May 1st @7:30! Let's all help him celebrate, Alberta style!!!

This is Ringo Starr’s beautiful new album, “Long Long Road” produced by T Bone Burnett. I’m tremendously honored to be on 3 songs. Who’d have ever thought???

Hey there, folks! In honour of Colin Linden coming all the way up from the deep south to play a show for us at the Bird Dog, our good friends across the street have decided to put on a bluesy meal for y'all and asked us to let you know.
They'll be serving up some Bourbon Whiskey, Salt and Pepper wings, and potato wedges, all for $14.95... BUT, you have to let them know if you plan on coming, and it's only being served between 4:30 and 7:30, so you can make it across the street in time to see Colin!!! Details are on the photo.... Enjoy it!!!

Haha, I guess there's not that many overwhelming odds here, BUT...we might sell out soon, and every day your chances to see him get lower! Colin Linden at The Bird Dog!
