Led by Barry James Payne, former guitarist in Rant Maggie Rant and frontman of his own project String Bone.

In late 2015, Barry was asked to be involved in a fundraiser. On a dare by the venue's owner to do a Blue Rodeo tribute, he rounded up some great musicians and they tore the house down having a load of fun in the process with the audience dancing and singing along.

After their second show a few months later sold out, word caught on and venues in other cities were asking the band to come and play.

If you're a fan of Blue Rodeo, you won't want to miss Diamond Mine, the ultimate sound-alike tribute band that's capturing the hearts of audiences wherever they play.

In a world where the music scene is constantly evolving, with their energy and musicianship, they have captured the soulful, country-inspired sound that made Blue Rodeo a beloved icon of Canadian music.

From "Try" to "Bad Timing" to "Lost Together," Diamond Mine transport listeners to a different time and place, evoking memories and emotions with every note.

What sets Diamond Mine apart is their passion for the music they play. Close your eyes and you'll hear Jim & Greg singing those unmistakable harmonies. They don't just perform the songs – they embody the spirit of Blue Rodeo's sound, creating a truly immersive experience for their audience. With their incredible musicianship and powerful vocals, they bring the soulful, heartfelt sound of Blue Rodeo to life.

Whether you're a die-hard fan of Blue Rodeo or just appreciate great music, this is a show you won't want to miss.

It's truly a riot! If you are a Blue Rodeo fan, you will enjoy hearing all of their hits and some other more obscure tunes they have written or covered throughout their amazing 35+ year career. AND I know you will have a blast, guaranteed.
