Corb Lund

Corb Lund, an authentic rural Albertan artist with deep roots in ranching and rodeo, has established himself as a prominent figure in country, Western, and indie-folk music, earning numerous awards and recent recognition with his Grand Ole Opry debut. After co-founding the acclaimed indie-metal band The Smalls, which was active until 2001 and later reunited for a ‘Slight Return’ tour in 2014, Corb Lund transitioned to forming the Corb Lund Band in 1995. Dedicating his full attention to this new project after The Smalls disbanded in 2001, the group evolved into ‘Corb Lund and the Hurtin’ Albertans’ in 2005 with the addition of guitarist Grant Siemens. Under this moniker, Lund and his band have built a robust touring and recording presence across Canada, the United States, and Australia.

Lund continued to achieve significant milestones in recent years, including earning his 14th career Canadian Country Music Award in 2022. That same year, he made his esteemed debut at the Grand Ole Opry, a pivotal moment in country music. He also released Songs My Friends Wrote in 2022. Most recently, Lund unveiled his latest original album, El Viejo, in February 2024, continuing to captivate audiences with his distinctive narrative and musical style.
