Wiseman discovered or produced many artists including former Canadian member of parliament Andrew Cash, Ron Sexsmith, The Lowest of the Low, and Bruce McCulloch of Kids in the Hall. He is a founding member of Blue Rodeo with whom he won 5 Juno Awards.
From 1982 to 1989, he regularly played at open stages in Toronto, developing his songwriting and then started producing his friends Bob Snider, Kyp Harness, Ron Sexsmith, Sahara Spracklin and Sam Larkin. He joined Blue Rodeo in 1984 and quit in 1992. His 13 solo albums include guest contributions by Daniel Lanois, Mary Margaret O'Hara, Eugene Chadbourne, Edie Brickell, Ron Sexsmith, Jane Siberry, Basia Bulat and Serena Ryder. Wiseman's songs often incorporate avant garde musical elements and explicit political lyrical themes. In 2009 a 20th anniversary edition of in Her Dream was released by the Blocks Recording Club and the songs were performed live by various friends including Ron Sexsmith, Geoff Berner, Owen Pallett, Kyp Harness, The Phonemes, Picastro, Michael Holt, Maggie MacDonald, UIC, Henri Faberge, and Don Christensen. In 2006 Wiseman and his wife, Magali Meagher accompanied Daniel Johnston on his songs "Speeding Motorcycle" and "Beatles". The videos of it are streamable on YouTube. Wiseman was also a member or regular guest of Toronto bands Slutarded, Black Eyes, The Hidden Cameras and Dick Duck & the Dorks. Some of his better known songs include "White Dress" – a song about sexual assault, recorded by Serena Ryder, "What the Astronaut Noticed and Then Suggested" which was the theme song for the CBC Television series Material World, and "Maureen" – a song added by David Byrne to his 2010 March playlist.

Thanks to Ed, Sandor, and Pete Bowers. --- Banjo picker, Annie Clifford, had a dream about The Gertrudes. She told guitar picker, Greg Tilson, about the dream and he picked up the phone and called up all The Gertrudes in her dream. The Gertrudes then assembled themselves in a practice room at the Kingston School of Music, and made beautiful music together. The rest, as they say, is history. The Gertrudes sound like an ol time saloon party in deep space experimental noise beds with down home folk passengers, frolicking through original material, played by a veritable orchestra of instru...

In 1989 Blue Rodeo released their second album, Diamond Mine. At the time they were still an "up and coming" band. Today they are one of the greatest bands in Canadian history and members of the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. I was fortunate enough to produce this TV special about the band when they visited Saskatoon and Craven, Saskatchewan. Enjoy a rare live recording of Blue Rodeo performing Diamond Mine with Bobby Wiseman on keyboards!
After a late night at UNOfest, a quick interview with Bob Wiseman about Actionable, arts and fringes
In 2008 I had the great pleasure of interviewing one of the most important figures in the travel and technology business, ex-chairman and CEO of American Airlines and the business force behind the creation of the Sabre system and, now, company
When asked whom he'd most love to collaborate with (during an episode of the "Breakfast Club with Vish Khanna"), Canadian indie-rock icon Bob Wiseman barely hesitates before gushing about Liz Phair. Check out http://www.facebook.com/R3BreakfastClub for more info.

Bob Wiseman performing Uranium. This video clip is referenced in "Refining Uranium: Bob Wiseman's Ecomusicological Puppetry," by Andrew Mark in Environmental Humanities, vol. 4, 2014. http://www.environmentalhumanities.org This is the video that Wiseman actually uses in performance, of course, without sound. Painstakingly adding colour back into the original Super8 take frame by frame as Wiseman did produces an interesting effect. Watching without the song or listening without the film reveals how essential this pairing is to deliver the significant emotional impact of the work.
