Corb Lund is a Canadian Western and Country singer-songwriter from Taber, Alberta, Canada. He has released nine albums, three of which are certified gold. Lund tours regularly in Canada, the United States and Australia, and has received several awards in Canada and abroad.
Corb Lund grew up in Southern Alberta living on his family’s farm and ranches near Taber, Cardston and Rosemary.[1] Lund left his hometown of Taber and moved to Edmonton, where he enrolled in the Grant MacEwan College to study jazz guitar and bass.
Lund was a founding member of The Smalls. The band retired in the fall of 2001, but reunited in 2014 for a string of shows, the so-called “Slight Return” tour.[2]
Lund formed his country trio, the Corb Lund Band, in 1995.[3] He turned his attention to his own band exclusively when the Smalls broke up in 2001.[3] The band changed its name to “Corb Lund and the Hurtin’ Albertans” in 2005[3] shortly after guitarist Grant Siemens joined the group, and has been touring and recording under that title ever since.
Lund currently lives in Lethbridge, Alberta, and spends much of his downtime at his family ranch south of Cardston, Alberta.[4]
