Corb Lund has received multiple CCMA, Juno, and international award nominations and wins. 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. Embracing his Western heritage and indie rock past through his music, Lund is known to filter a range of cowboy themes past and present through his unique lens — from rough-and-tumble tales of lawless frontier saloons to the sombre realities of running a modern family ranch. Most recently, Lund released Songs My Friends Wrote. Met with critical acclaim, the 10song set features Lund putting his spin on some of his favourite songs written by close friends and worldclass songwriters such as Hayes Carll, Todd Snider, Canadian Country Music Legend Ian Tyson, and more.

With Songs My Friends Wrote, Lund won his 14th career CCMA in 2022. The album is the follow-up to 2020’s critically acclaimed Agricultural Tragic, Lund’s first studio album of original material in five years, which also earned him a CCMA in 2021.

Lund also recently had his debut on stage at the historic Grand Ole Opry.
