Canadian musician Sam Roberts opened the 21st century as a humble singer-songwriter, but that persona is long gone: Roberts is now one of the best-known rock acts in Canada.

During his decade-long ascent, Roberts has performed with Oasis and The Tragically Hip, signed an international record deal and put together a band. The Sam Roberts Band has released five full-length albums, each of which was nominated or won a Juno award — Canada's equivalent of the Grammy.

The latest from The Sam Roberts Band, Collider, came out earlier this month. You can hear songs from the album during this performance at the 11th annual NON-COMMvention radio conference, recorded live at World Cafe Live at The Queen in Wilmington, Del.
