The Sadies

WEDNESDAY, MAY 27, 2026 • 8:00 PM
Market Hall Performing Arts Centre

Colder Streams sounds like what happens when a great band refuses to rush the important stuff. For The Sadies, deadlines have always mattered less than the final result, and that patience paid off here. The album is rich, ambitious, and deeply assured — the work of a band still expanding its reach when most others are running on fumes. Recorded during the pandemic with producer Richard Reed Parry in Montreal, the sessions unfolded with the ease of old friendship and the kind of space that lets songs fully become themselves.

Then came the shattering blow: Dallas Good’s sudden death on February 17, 2022, just as the band was preparing to take the record on the road. What followed could have been an ending. Instead, it became something more complicated and more moving. Travis Good, working through grief, rebuilt the songs by combining his and Dallas’s guitar parts and taking on the vocals himself. Along with Mike Belitsky and Sean Dean, he returned to the material carefully, unsure whether continuing would feel right at all. After several days of rehearsal, it did.

What emerged was not an attempt to replace the irreplaceable, but a way to honour it. Performing these songs became both tribute and therapy — a means of carrying forward the album fans had waited so long to hear, while keeping faith with the music Dallas helped create. The touring continues in that spirit: not out of obligation, but out of love, respect, and the conviction that The Sadies’ remarkable body of work still deserves to be heard loudly, widely, and often.
