Bob Wiseman's "ACTIONABLE"

"As real as life and death and sometimes funny, too." -David Byrne

ACTIONABLE reflects upon litigious situations resulting from Bob Wiseman's songwriting after quitting legendary Canadian pop group Blue Rodeo in 1991.
He rubs shoulders in these stories with lawyers for Prince, lawyers for Warner Music, lawyers for Pepsi Cola, lawyers for David Geffen, lawyers for Blue Rodeo, and Canadian lawyer Doug Christie whose clients include historical revisionists and members of the KKK. These often hilarious tales are presented utilizing super 8 film, video projection, power-point and musical breaks on accordion, guitar and keyboard. Mr. Wiseman will be representing himself.
A founding member of Blue Rodeo, Wiseman has enjoyed a modestly successful solo career since leaving the band after their 1992 album, Lost Together. He has also produced the likes of Ron Sexsmith, Lowest of the Low, and Bruce McCullough of Kids in the Hall. Wiseman, who lives in Toronto, has won several Junos and received a Lifetime Achievement Award from CBC Radio 3 in 2008.
