Prince George – Corb Lund and the Hurtin’ Albertans gallop in to Prince George on their Winter Tour 2008.  It will be a grand honkytonk, in their first headlining concert at the CN Centre.  Tickets go on sale Saturday, October 18, 2008, at 10:00 am! 

It is a triumphant return to Prince George as Corb Lund and his band recently were honoured as Roots Artist of the Year at the 2008 Canadian Country Music Association Awards. 

Corb Lund was born and raised in rural southern Alberta and comes from four generations of Canadian ranchers and cowboys. He writes and sings the songs. He grew up riding horseback, chasing cattle and rodeoing on the prairies and in the foothills of the Rockies the first half of his life.

Corb Lund then spent ten years driving across Canada, the States, Australia and Europe in an old van with his indie rock band called 'the smalls', playing every funky dive along the way. His writing reflects the unholy marriage of these experiences. He calls his music scruffy country, ulterior country, dissident country, subversive country, insubordinate country, non-toxic country, or western music with some hair on it
