Description
A rural Albertan hailing from the foothills of the Rocky Mountains with a long family lineage of ranchers and rodeo people, Lund is about as authentic as they come, and equally as hard to define.
The western Canadian singer-songwriter is an elusive artist — onstage, offstage, and in the studio — seamlessly weaving between the outlaw country, Western, and indie-folk realms with an honest curiosity and rowdy devotion to each. He was raised with the tried and true DIY sentiment of “if you want something done, you gotta do it yourself” launching his career recording in his basement, printing his own shirts, booking his own tours, being his own manager and publicist… whatever it took to get it done. He toured for years with the indie-metal band the smalls, and later turned his sights to writing Western songs, creating a unique and quirky hybrid writing style along the way. He has received multiple domestic and international award nominations and wins. In 2022, Lund won his 14th career Canadian Country Music Award and made his debut at the historic Grand Ole Opry. His album of originals, El Viejo, was released in February 2024.

When you come from generations of ranchers and rodeo people, you can't help but be influenced by the West," says award-winning roots country singer Corb Lund. Lund embraces his Western heritage through his music, touching on a range of cowboy themes past and present--from rough-and-tumble tales of lawless frontier saloons, to the somber realities of running a modern family ranch.
Hailing from the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, Canada, Lund is about as authentic as they come. He sings about the life that he knows and, as a result, his writing really resonates with rural audiences. Meanwhile, Lund's traditional sound is music to classic country lovers' ears, and has won over fans across the American West.
As Lund looks ahead to the summer of 2018, his sights are set on performing at rodeos, fairs, and Western events where audiences will not just enjoy the music, but truly connect with the lyrics.
Backed by his longtime honkytonk band, The Hurtin' Albertans, Lund and the boys put on a great live show and really know how to get a crowd revved up. "
Like Willie Nelson before them, they bring out the shitkickers and hipsters in equal measure," writes Vegas Seven.
With 9 studio albums under his belt, multiple CCMA, Juno, and international award nomination and wins, Lund is musical force to be reckoned with. His seventh album, "Cabin Fever" debuted at #1 on the Billboard Canadian Charts; he has 3 gold records; and his latest release, "Things That Can't be Undone", cemented his status as one of the best country singer/songwriters in the business.
Rolling Stone declared him one of the "10 New Country Artists You Need to Know" and NPR remarked, "The album is a high mark of a long career." Rolling Stone Country observed Things That Can't Be Undone, "finds Lund flirting in fresh sonic waters, while still keeping his sardonic mix of eerie lyrics and deceptively joyful vamps well intact."
