Award-winning country artist Gord Bamford releases his new album Fire It Up and tickets for his Canadian Dirt Tour are on sale
On April 28, multiple CMA and 26x CCMA Award-winning artist Gord Bamford shared his 11th studio album, Fire It Up, via Anthem Records. The album is a musically robust collection that appeals to audiences around the world with stand-alone singles and arena anthems. It’s a ten-track collection that includes a song for every kind of country music lover – from the dance-along, tongue-in-cheek “Sober In A Drinkin’ Song” to reminiscing on ballpark days in “Cooperstown” and Bamford offering wise romantic advice with “Date Her.”
About the album, Bamford shares,
“This album has been in the making for a while and I feel this is some of my best work yet. Each time you play music for an audience, it becomes new; it is an exquisite moment because of the audience and the situation that allows us to be in that moment. The title of the album truly exemplifies where I am in my career and I’m feeling in many ways like I’m just getting started!”
Bamford knows how to get listeners pumped up with the title track “Fire It Up,” for which he shares,
“This song has such great energy and a fresh sound that I’m very enthusiastic to share and perform for my fans. It’s the perfect lift you up, and get going, kind of tune. Lyrically it is meant to ignite that fire within, that we all possess. It’s about living in the now, encouraging us to get on it, and take it to the next level, whatever that means to you.”

About the tour, Bamford shares
“As an artist, a live concert to me is exciting because of all the electricity that is generated in the crowd from the fans and on stage. It’s my favourite part of the business and I’m proud of the work on this new album and eager for everyone to hear it! See ya on the road.”
