Country Music's Country Junkie: Gord Bamford
He's been called Canada's answer to George Strait. But a distinctive sound and songwriting ability is what defines Gord Bamford as one of country music's best neotraditional artists and like so many others that have come before him; Bamford is not an overnight success. He has spent the better part of the last 20 years honing his craft, working to get where he is today: a 16-time Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA) award winning artist. Bamford has opened shows and toured with artists such as Tim McGraw, George Strait, Martina McBride, Brooks & Dunn, Miranda Lambert and just recently a cross-Canada tour with Reba McEntire.
While his 6th studio album Country Junkie sees Bamford collaborating with a variety of different songwriters, such as Brent Baxter (Alan Jackson - "Monday Morning Church"), Phil O'Donnell (George Strait - "Give It All We Got Tonight") he stays true to that formula for success he's had with Nashville-based co-writing partner Byron Hill (George Strait - "Fool Hearted Memory", Gary Allan - "Nothing On But The Radio", Joe Nichols - "Size Matter")...just to name a few.
His humble, likable approach is what continues to draw legions of new fans to Gord Bamford. But it's the music that keeps them loyal.
"Gord Bamford has the amazing ability to evolve, sense where his fans want to go, and take us all along with him. It's like we're all headed down the road together and Gord's behind the wheel showing us all a great time!" - Byron Hill, writing partner.
