Canadian Country Music Legend Gord Bamford Announces Australian Tour
Gord Bamford is one of Canada’s most awarded country music artists with a total of 26 CCMA Awards. Australian born in Victoria’s Gippsland area Gord moved to Canada with his mum at 5 years of age following the breakdown of his parent’s marriage.
Raised in Alberta and growing up listening to his country music idols on the radio Gord set his sights on a career in country music. Next year will mark his 25th year in the industry. During that time he has released 10 studio albums and has had 28 x Top-10 Singles, one Platinum Album, two Gold Albums, one Platinum Single and seven Gold Singles in Canada. Gord has achieved in excess of 100 million streams in 179 countries and 5 billion global audience impressions at radio and he remains to this day one of Canada’s hardest working touring artists, performing between 100 - 200 shows per year pending his album release cycle. He now regularly tours Europe as well as Australia.
Today Gord announces his Just Gettin’ Started Australian Tour 2024 with shows in October and November. This year's tour will feature a number of outdoor festival appearances along with his own headline shows on the east coast of Australia. Gord said ”I will also be hooking up with my good mates The Wolfe Brothers for a couple of shows which I really look forward to. We go back a few years now and they have been a great support to me in Australia having me on their tours and they have also done a few shows here with me in Canada”.
A new single called Just Gettin’ Started will be released on 19th August. Gord said “Bringing my new music to Australia has been sitting at the top of my wish list for a long time. I am so happy and excited to now have the opportunity to tour and to connect with Australian audiences again. To be able to visit the country of my birth and to play my music there is a gift that means so much to me. The shows in 2023 were all amazing and I can’t wait to come back down-under in October 2024.”
