	Musicians - Bob Wiseman

Bob Wiseman is a Canadian singer-songwriter and filmmaker. His music, which blends folk, rock and jazz, very often contains explicitly political themes.

He was a member of Blue Rodeo from that band's inception, departing the band after their 1992 album Lost Together. He was also a member of The Hidden Cameras and Slutarded.

His first solo album was Bob Wiseman Sings Wrench Tuttle: In Her Dream in 1989. "Wrench Tuttle", the credited songwriter, was in fact simply a pseudonym for Wiseman himself. This record yielded the video "We Got Time", which was a minor hit on Much Music.

His best-known songs include "Have a Nice Day" (from 1993's City of Wood), a harsh attack on controversial Canadian lawyer and Western Canada Concept founder Doug Christie, who often defends racist and neo-Nazi clients, and "What the Astronaught Noticed and Then Suggested" (from 1991's Presented By Lake Michigan Soda), an existential zydeco purge which was later used as the theme song to the CBC Television series Material World.

Wiseman has also produced recordings for Ron Sexsmith, The Lollipop People, Katie Crown, Kyp Harness, Bourbon Tabernacle Choir, Eugene Chadbourne, Bob Snider, Edie Brickell, Andrew Cash, and The Lowest of the Low.
