What's new with Jordan Rody...

                             Back to Normal??
April 27, 2022.
Do I dare say that I think we are through the horrible COVID-19 Lockdowns? The calender is starting to fill up which is nice and feels good to get back out on the road after such a long lay off. 

Last month The Jordan Rody Band performed at the Drumheller Oktoberfest in Drumheller, Alberta. It was enjoyed by all and looking forward to going back again real soon!!

More recently, The Western Senators performed at Danceland Ballroom in Manitou Beach, Saskatchewan on April 23rd to kick off the dance season there. If you havent been there yet you have to go... just to dance on the world famous 5000 square foot dance floor built on horsehair. The Western Senators are looking forward to returning November 11th and 12th with Canada's Polka King, Walter Ostanek! For tickets call 1 (800) 267-5037!

October 28, 2018.
My debut album, Main Squeeze!, is now available for digital download and streaming everywhere you listen to music. Also, physical purchases are available through my website in the "store" tab. 

Saskatchewan's Grammy nominated polka band, The Western Senators, backed me on this album. This project was derived from my performances on season 7 of PolkaRama! which is also available.

It's now on YouTube! For those that don't know I was very priviliged in 2013 to be a special guest on PolkaRama!

It was such an amazing experience to be a part of the tv taping, and I won't forget it anytime soon!

In other news, Scott Heatcoat and I have a show coming up on May 12th in Hoadley, Alberta. The line-up looks excellent and we're excited to be sharing the stage with the other performers. We hope you can join us! 


                             Festival of Stars!
May 22, 2017.
This weekend Scott Heatcoat, and I were honoured to perform at the 13th Annual Festival of Stars in Radway, AB. This is the third time that the event has been held in Radway, prior to that it was held in Bashaw, AB for 10 years. I've had the priviledge of being a part of the event for the last 6 years. Every year it's so great to visit old friends and make new ones too.

This year the event ran from May 19th through to the 21st. Scott and I had two performances with one at 11:00AM, and again at 4:00PM. Both shows were packed to capacity, even more than last year! Looking forward to returning next year!!


                            Happy New Year!!!
January 2, 2017.
Happy New Year everyone! I hope everyone had a great Christmas season! I brought in the new year with The Western Senators at North America's Greatest Dancehall, Danceland in Manitou Beach, SK. For the last 4 years I have ended the year and began a new year in the same building. It's great to celebrate with so many familiar faces and new ones! 2016 was a great year for me, with performances around Alberta, Saskatchewan, Montana, and North Dakota. 2017 promises to be a great year, and I'm looking forward to it!

January 13th, I will be performing with The Western Senators at the Living Sky Casino in Swift Current, SK. If you're in the area I hope you can join us to celebrate Ukrainian New Years! Hope to see you all in the new year!


               Another Great Oktoberfest Season!!

November 2nd, 2015.
Had a great oktoberfest season this year, busy - lots of travelling, but wouldn't have it any other way. To start the tour I was in Whitefish, MT with The Western Senators for the Great Northwest Oktoberfest, a fantastic time; and the tent was jam packed for the three days. 

From Whitefish we hit the road to Minot, for Norsk Hostfest. Four days of shows with Frankie Yankovic's grand nephew, Bob Kravos. An all around good guy and great musician, and I hope I get the chance to perform with him again in the future.

The Jordan Rody Band was also busy north of the border with performances in Edmonton, St. Albert, Grande Prairie. I logged about 5000 kilometers, one of my most travelled oktoberfest seasons yet.

                         Oktoberfest is Here!!
October 13, 2014.

"It's that time of year again, Oktoberfest is here again!" 
October 11, The Jordan Rody Duo had an awesome time at the Crown & Tower Pub in St. Albert, AB. The place was packed to capacity and people had to walk out as there was no place to sit. The food was great and the beer was flowing, the pub had a beer deal - a 32oz stein for $10 AND you got to keep the stein! Needless to say a lot of people walked away with steins. Special thanks to the Crown and Tower for having us there and to Rickard's (Molson Coors) for sponsoring the event.

Next weekend, October 18th, I will be performing at Alder Flats Community Agriculture Society in Alder Flats, AB. Bratwurst supper, Live entertainment, featuring yours truly, and Edwin Erickson & Tight Squeeze, European Beer sampling tables. Doors open at 7PM and tickets are only $20! This is a fundraiser to help the community build a new arena, come out and help a great cause and have fun!

October 25, I will be performing with The Hammertones in Grande  Prairie, AB at Maddhatters Lounge for the annual Oktoberfest event. If you're in the area come by and say hi!


                                Queen City Ex!
August 5, 2013.
I had an awesome time performing at the Queen City Ex in Regina, SK with The Western Senators. The exhibition ran from July 31-August 4, and we performed two shows a day, plus a pancake breakfast on Sunday. The pancake breakfast was very well received and everyone enjoyed themselves. 

I was also fortunate enough to talk with Courtney Minenko (Polka Queen) from NewsTalk CJME 980 in Regina. If you want to check out the online version of the interview (click here).
