Gord Bamford, one of Canada’s most awarded country music artists, will perform at Mingara Recreation Club on November 1, sharing the stage with the Wolfe Brothers and 2022 Toyota Star Maker Winner and current Golden Guitar Best New Talent winner Max Jackson.
The performance will be part of his recently announced 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.
“I will also be hooking up with my good mates The Wolfe Brothers for a couple of shows which I really look forward to,” Bamford said.
“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.”
Australian born in Victoria’s Gippsland area, Bamford moved to Canada with his mum at five years of age following the breakdown of his parents’ marriage.
Raised in Alberta and growing up listening to his country music idols on the radio, Bamford set his sights on a career in country music.
Next year will mark his 25th year in the industry and during that time, he has released 10 studio albums and has had 28 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 five billion global audience impressions at radio and he remains one of Canada’s hardest working touring artists, performing between 100 to 200 shows a year pending his album release cycle.
He now regularly tours Europe as well as Australia.
“Bringing my new music to Australia has been sitting at the top of my wish list for a long time,” he said.
“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,” Bamford said.
