ICYMI: Next big Sedgewick concert event announced

The Town of Sedgewick is one of 19 stops booked on the first leg of the recently announced #REDNEK MUSIC FEST tour.

The tour features award-winning and Alberta-born singer/songwriter Gord Bamford who will be joined on stage by a number of the hottest emerging acts in the country.

The show will also star multi-platinum, Juno award-winner Jess Moskaluke, and features a knock-out lineup of other home grown country talent including Eric Ethridge, Cory Marks, Andrew Hyatt, Ghost Boy, and Duane Steele.

The tour will support Bamford’s latest single “To Get To You,” a duet that features Moskaluke, as well as the success of his previous single “#REDNEK,” which is what inspired him to take a traveling festival to the road with like-minded performers.

The tour lands at the Wild Rose Co-op Recreation Centre on Saturday, April 18.

Bamford, who was born in Australia but moved to Alberta when he was five, is no stranger to Canadian country music fans due to being one of the most decorated artists in the country with 26 Canadian Country Music Association awards to his credit.

To date the 43 year-old has released nine studio albums which include 39 singles, 20 of which were turned into music videos.

Within those he has accumulated 17 top-ten hits and two number one singles which include “Dive Bar” and “When Your Lips Are So Close.”

Tickets come on sale Monday, Nov. 25, and can be purchased at Sedgewick Town Office, Sedgewick and Killam Co-op grocery outlets, or online at ticketmaster.ca.
