When the curtain falls at the end of each show, there’s one question on Gord Bamford’s mind…
“Did my music matter?”
Gord is passionate about making pure, country music. His songs can inspire you to fly across the dance floor or sink into an embrace. Some boost up the spirit, others knock down sorrow. There are songs that inspire you to reflect on the past, while some cause you to dream of the future. Gord’s music does many good things. To that end, the answer is ‘Yes, Gord… your music matters’. But the question is more profound.
Like most, Gord dreamed of where life’s journey would lead. He grew up on a farm near Lacombe, Alberta. Country living meant school and farm chores were priority. But Gord and his family recognized the importance of community engagement. Gord found belonging and purpose in the local 4-H Club, Big Brothers & Sisters, and minor hockey and baseball. These opportunities became the foundation of Gord’s personal values and Gord credits much of his success to the friendships formed and lessons learned there. Opportunity matters.
Like many, he used those community experiences to build the skills, character, and confidence necessary to realize his dreams. Gord knows, firsthand, the importance of community programs and activites in healthy childhood and family development. As an adult and parent still living in Lacombe, he understands the challenges for communities to deliver those experiences, particularily in rural settings. Community matters.
Like few, Gord has fully embraced the responsibility that is paired with the rewards of success. For years, Gord dreamed of ways to give back, in particular, to enhance the lives of young people. His recently established Gord Bamford Charitable Foundation provides financial assistance to youth-focussed organizations so they can extend opporunities to even more kids. Gord’s community-building contributions now include unique programs for 4-H Clubs across Canada. Kids matter.
Gord Bamford is a true country boy, devoted family man, skilled entertainer, and very successful, multi-award winning Canadian Country Music Artist. He has written and recorded songs with some of Nashville’s greatest and shared the stage with Reba McEntire, Tim McGraw, Brooks & Dunn, and the legendary George Strait. His JUNO and CCMA awards and nominations are plentiful. Gord is realizing his dream and using his success to create opportunity, strengthen community, and effect positive change for kids.
For Gord, its not about ‘making it’,
its about making it matter.
