Songs such as Life Is Good, Heroes, All About Her, and I Would For You, firmly established Bamford as a serious musician in the Canadian country music scene. Life Is Good was released in 2004 to rave reviews and generated six top 20 radio hits. (Hill wrote Fool Hearted Memory, George Strait’s first number one single.) Since that time, Byron has been co-producing and co-writing with Gord ever since. That song was sent to him from respected Nashville hit-maker Byron Hill. Gord recorded his first full length album in 2001 titled God’s Green Earth. “That’s when I realized I wasn’t done with music.” Shortly thereafter Bamford won a local radio station’s talent contest in 1994, which included a professional studio recording session. My mind could go wherever it wanted and it gave birth to many of my song ideas,” Gord says. While working a day job as a concrete truck driver, Bamford discovered the freedom to explore country music in the security of that truck cab. The CD explores a time when Gord wondered if a career in music was realistic. The road to releasing Day Job-Gord’s fourth studio CD-was serious business. This independent singer/songwriter has been making country music a priority for the past 16 years. His love of music started at an early age and although he spent his teenage years playing sports and entertaining a professional career in baseball, but his love of country music never waned. Although he was born in Traralgon, Australia, Gord has lived in the rural Alberta town since his parents divorced when he was four, and his mother moved the family back to Canada. Gord’s just as comfortable playing in front of 35,000 screaming fans opening for George Strait at the Calgary Stampede as he playing for an intimate theatre setting in rural Ontario.įor Gord, it’s all about remaining true to your roots-roots which are firmly entrenched in Lacombe, Alberta. His songwriting ability allows him to craft songs of love, family, hanging out with the boys and then illustrate them vividly in his lyrics. The way Gord Bamford lives his life transcends through his music.
