Corb Lund is a great country-rock/roots singer in
the tradition of Hank Williams and Steve Earle. His web site has some audio and video samples (check out “Hurtin' Albertan” for “Time To Switch To Whiskey” for a couple of my own personal favourite songs.)
A bunch of his shows
out west are sold out but you can see him here in London in a less
crowded venue and for less than tickets on the prairies cost.
Here's the details:
Sep 17, 06 London, ON Cowboys Ranch With guests Elliott Brood. 60
Wharncliffe Rd. N. Info line (519) 679-0101. Tickets $17.50 available
Speed City Records and at www.ticketmaster.ca
(Didn't say on his web site but doors are likely at 8pm.)
Shea and I will likely pick up our tickets at Speed City Records
sometime this week.
Let me know if you're planning to attend!

I sw Corb Lund back in July at calgary Stampede – he was good, but I did feel a bit awkwardbeing amongst all those Albertans. The concert was free with the cost of stampede admission 🙂
Was he on the Coca Cola stage? I have a memory of seeing that and thinking it was weird he was on that stage rather than in the Nashville North tent.
As for feeling weird among Albertans, Stampede's probably when they're at their most stereotypical – the whole town shuts down for two weeks, people are drinking at 9am and all manner of “cowboy” duds come out of the closet, perfectly clean and unblemished by anything related to ranches in any way, shape or form.
