ABBREVIATED BIO

JUNO award winner and seven-time CCMA Roots Artist of the Year Corb Lund is, at the heart, an
unparalleled regional storyteller. Losin’ Lately Gambler, Corb’s sixth album and first major
international release, is another engrossing collection of sharply drawn characters and richly authentic
tales inspired by his own ancestry from the Canadian West.

Losin’ Lately Gambler is propelled by a galloping stand-up bass, electric guitar and is set to Corb's Jack London-esque yarns about down-and-out cowboys, whiskey and ranching. The sound is tough to categorize but the mix of roughnecks, bikers, bankers, and ranch hands you’ll see drinking and standing shoulder to shoulder at one of his concerts will all agree, Corb Lund is authentic.

Lund was born and raised in rural Southern Alberta. He has been singing about his country upbringing for more than a decade on critically acclaimed albums such as Five Dollar Bill (2002) and Hair In My Eyes Like A Highland Steer (2005). Lund is the current Canadian Country Music Association's Roots Artist of the Year for the fifth consecutive year and has won countless Western Canadian Music Awards, Canadian Folk Music Awards and both Canadian and U.S. Independent Music Awards. Lund's music reaches across genres allowing him to appear at varied major festivals worldwide from the main stage at Glastonbury in the UK and Virginfest in Canada to a cowboy poetry festival in Nevada.

PRESS / MEDIA

"Losin’ Lately Gambler: Another proud son of southern Alberta ranching stock, Lund carries on the troubador tradition of Ian Tyson. His songs tell vivid stories - like 'This is My Prairie" and the Marty Robbins-infused "Devil's Best Dress.' And Lund can yodel, too. What more can you ask for?"

-Tracy Feist, AmericanCowboy.com

"Lund and Losin’ Lately Gambler present us with a new and meaningful 21st century addition to the traditions of Western and cowboy music, something to succeed the likes of Ian Tyson and Ramblin’ Jack Elliott."

-Houston Press 

"From their new album "Losin' Lately Gambler," Corb Lund and the Hurtin' Albertans could well have themselves another country hit, at least regionally, in the tune "Long Gone to Saskatchewan." You will not believe your ears. Never before has a successful Albertan sung with such genuine affection the praises of Saskatchewan."

-The Leader Post
