QUOTES

General:

"Every time I step off of that bus, my goal is to leave it all out there on that stage… leave it in the hearts and minds of those people who are there because they want to be entertained. If I am able to enrich the day or touch the hearts of those people, I can get back on that bus knowing that what I do matters! This is all I need to keep me going from coast to coast, and town to town… doing my best to bring my music to anyone who wants to listen!" - Gord Bamford

Quotes about Gord Bamford:

 "Gord is right amongst the top songwriters that we have." - Larry Delaney Publisher, editor of Canada's Country Music News

“Bamford is the rarest creature in modern country music: he's country. A burly, lantern-jawed guy who looks like he was born in a cowboy hat, Bamford is arguably the best real country songwriter in Canada, if not the business. The vocals are somewhere between Merle and Alan Jackson but the lineage, the attitude, can be traced through people like Verne Gosdin and even Ol' Hank himself. The guy gets it.” - journalist John P. McLaughlin, The Vancouver Province

“He’s a true country artist and is destined to be a huge star. His very likeable personality will endear him to even the harshest critics of the genre, and those who really know the genre will instantly hear Gord’s roots. Gord Bamford lives it, breathes it and sings it!” - Byron Hill, Nashville Singer/Songwriter

“Gord Bamford is creating music that researches as well or better than the superstar acts. Gord gets music and gets what radio wants - all the while keeping it true to what he believes in. He's at the point now where you recognize his voice and his sound and realize it's that new sound you love and want to turn up and really listen to. To add to all of that Gord is just a really good guy that once you get to know him you just really want to cheer him on!” - Mark Patric, assistant program director / music director for 93.7 JRFM

“The guy is one of the purest country vocalists of our generation. The most rewarding aspect of working with Gord has been watching him transition from a great singer/songwriter into a tremendous singer/songwriter AND entertainer.” - Jim Cressman, Cressman Sakamoto Agency

"Gord Bamford is more than just a Country singer. His song writing reaches out to touch the soul of many, his performance connects with people inexpressibly, and his passion for life comes through his actions as he supports many organizations that pursue goals of helping make a better society. Gord Bamford is as true as they come." - Dan Finley, Calgary Stampede programming manager

Rural Roots Run Deep:

"It is especially fitting that Gord has partnered with 4-H Canada, due to the fact that he is a former 4-H member,” says Mike Nowosad, CEO of the Canadian 4-H Council. “Gord exhibits all the characteristics that 4-H embodies and this is apparent in his life and his music."

“Not only do we get an opportunity to work with one of our successful 4-H Alumni, a portion of the CD sales will go to the Legacy Fund to enhance member and leader experiences through programs, workshops and special events,” says Bruce Banks, CEO of the 4-H Foundation of Alberta.
