About This Performance

Celebrated country star Gord Bamford announces the expansion of his widely successful Canadian Dirt Tour, currently underway and making stops across Canada. Over the past two months, the multiple CMA and 26x CCMA award-winner has been showcasing his new music in addition to previously released hits and fan-favourites to fans across the country to outstanding response. On June 12th, Bamford announced 31 new dates for the already significant run, with stops added in Alberta, British Columbia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Manitoba, and Saskatchewan.

 

Joining Bamford on tour across all newly announced dates is Métis Canadian Country singer-songwriter Dallas Alexander. The second leg of the tour is set to kick off on September 8th in Marwayne, Alberta, continuing through to November 24th where it concludes in Calgary, Alberta.

 

In April of this year, Bamford released his new album Fire It Up via Anthem Records, marking his 11th studio album since his debut nearly two decades ago. Following his own time-tested formula while bolstering 100 million streams and 5 billion global audience impressions at radio, Bamford comprised a musically robust collection that appeals to audiences around the world with standalone singles and arena anthems. The Australian-born, Alberta-raised neo-traditional artist delivers song after song that blends hard moments with powerful and compassionate reflections, staying true to the country sound that has helped define his decorated career.
