Joe Carbury, Voice of the Calgary Stampede Passes
Today, the Calgary Stampede Family mourns the loss of a legend. We are saying goodbye to the man behind the distinctive – even iconic – “Annnnd they’re off” that boomed loudly through the Grandstand speakers for an incredible 45 years.
Joe Carbury’s unique delivery as the announcer of the Rangeland Derby Chuckwagon Races made him not just the voice of the Calgary Stampede, but for many, the voice of Calgary.
