Gord Bamford coming to the Battlefords for #REDNEK Music Fest
The Gold Eagle Casino will be home to one of country music’s biggest names this month, when Gord Bamford comes to town as part of his #REDNEK Music Fest Tour.
Bamford is one of the most decorated artists in country music today, with 26 Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA) awards and multiple Juno nominations, in addition to being the only two-time winner of Nashville’s Country Music Association (CMA) Global Country Artist of the Year award.
Bamford was born in Australia, but moved to Alberta when he was just five years old. He said it is always something special to come back home to the Prairies to perform, adding he’s also excited to return to the Battlefords for the first time in a long time.
“Being from the West and being able to travel across the Prairies and play is pretty awesome,” Bamford said. “We’re playing bigger centres, smaller centres [and] small towns; I haven’t played in the Battlefords for years so we just thought it would be a great stop and a perfect opportunity to get back there and play again. We have a whole bunch of great artists involved in the show and it’s going to be a great show that’s a lot of fun.”
