MONTREAL, QC , 24/02/2010 – SF Marketing is very excited to announce the addition of country recording star, Gord Bamford to Shure’s distinguished Canadian artist roster.
Gord Bamford lives, eats and breathes country music. As many kids dream at a young age Gord considered pursuing a career in professional sports, but he quickly realized that music was his true calling.
Luisa Cabrita, Shure Product Manager at SF Marketing states:
- “Gord is such a great musician. He is what country music exemplifies. We love the diversity of our artists and It’s extremely exciting to have Gord Bamford as part of our Shure family”.
Gord released his first album, “God’s Green Earth” in 2000, and in 2004 with the help of Tim Taylor, Steve Fox and Byron Hill, released his second album entitled, “Life is Good”.

His third album, “Honkytonks and Heartaches” was released in 2007 and included Gord’s first top ten single on the Billboard charts, “Blame it on that Red Dress”. This album solidified his position on the Billboard charts with 4 Top Ten singles and 6 Top 15 singles and earned him a 2008 Juno nomination for Country Recording of the Year.
