Welcoming Multi Award Winning Canadian Country Music Artist Gord Bamford as a Foundational Artist
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE March 16, 2026
TORONTO, ON – CC Entertainment & Ventures officially launches as a boutique booking and artist services agency founded by Corinne Szepesi, building on years of trusted artist partnerships, including extensive work with multi-award-winning Canadian country artist Gord Bamford.
For more than two decades, Szepesi has worked closely alongside Bamford, playing an instrumental role in the operational, strategic, and philanthropic sides of his career. Over the past five years, Szepesi has served as Director of Operations, working day to day across touring, business affairs, partnerships, and long-term planning, while also overseeing the Gord Bamford Foundation as Foundation Manager.
The launch of CC Entertainment & Ventures represents a natural evolution of that partnership, formalizing years of behind-the-scenes work under a clear guiding philosophy: artists first.
“This is a launch and continuation," says Corinne Szepesi, Founder of CC Entertainment & Ventures. “Gord and I have spent years working side by side through tours, business operations, and philanthropy. Launching CC Entertainment & Ventures simply gives structure to how I’ve always worked, with the artist first, strategic booking, and long-term thinking at the centre of every decision.”
Based in Kelowna, BC, CC Entertainment & Ventures is intentionally structured as a boutique agency, working exclusively with established artists and focusing on strategic booking, tour planning, and long-term career stewardship. The agency is not designed for scale, but for depth, consistency, and credibility, with an unwavering commitment to putting artists first.
In addition, the agency also represents Dallas Alexander, a Métis-born Alberta artist now based in Nashville, who is signed to Cache Entertainment Inc., the label founded by Gord Bamford. A former elite sniper of Canada’s (JTF2) Joint Task Force 2, Alexander brings grit, precision, and lived experience to his music, earning a reputation for powerful, authentic performances that resonate deeply with audiences across Canada and in the US.
The agency also represents The Hip Replacements, a Kelowna based band who bring over 20 years of experience and a well-established presence in the Canadian live music landscape. Recognized as Western Canada’s premier Tragically Hip tribute band, they continue to deliver high-energy shows and packed venues.
Bamford describes the transition as both organic and overdue.
“I’ve been fortunate to work with Corinne for nearly two decades. She understands relationships, sustainability, and the importance of long-term thinking in this business,” says Gord Bamford. “That perspective has made a real difference throughout my career. Congratulations Corinne on the launch of CC Entertainment & Ventures, I’m looking forward to continuing our work together. It truly feels like we’re Just Gettin’ Started”.
“Our focus isn’t on chasing trends or building massive rosters,” Szepesi adds. “It’s about working with artists who already have something to say and ensuring their live careers are handled with care, strategy, and respect. That’s what artists-first representation looks like, and that’s how longevity is built.”
With decades of hands-on experience and trusted industry relationships, Corinne Szepesi launches CC Entertainment & Ventures not as a new direction, but as a refined one, grounded in partnership, experience, and an artist-first philosophy.
