As Sam Roberts, he released two subsequent albums – Chemical City in 2006 and Love At The End Of The World in 2008 – and, as The Sam Roberts Band, brought forth the studio albums Collider, Lo-Fantasy, TerraForm and All Of Us.

Roberts didn’t return empty handed from his trips to the Juno Awards. At the 2004 ceremony, his arms cradled four of the coveted statues – Album of the Year, Rock Album of the Year and Artist of the Year for We Were Born In A Flame, and Video of the Year for Bridge To Nowhere. Then, in 2009, Roberts again won Artist of the Year and Rock Album of the Year for Love At The End Of The World.

Roberts’ Peterborough Musicfest appearance follows his storm-shortened August 29, 2021 headlining of the festival’s free drive-in concert at the Peterborough Memorial Centre.

Peterborough Musicfest is a free event hosted every Wednesday and Saturday. It is suggested that concert-goers bring their own lawn chairs, or rent a chair for $4 at the event.

If a storm occurs during a concert, a cancellation announcement will be made from the stage. Peterborough Musicfest will not issue a cancellation call until 7:45 p.m. - fifteen minutes before the scheduled start of 8 p.m. Rescheduling of weather-cancelled concerts is not guaranteed.
