Panida to host western Canadian songwriter Corb Lund

By Reader Staff

There is no easy way to define the rural Albertan singer-songwriter Corb Lund. Hailing from the foothills of the Canadian Rocky Mountains with a long family lineage of ranchers and rodeo people, Lund plays a curious mix of outlaw country, Western and indie-folk songs, all with an honest curiosity and rowdy devotion to each genre. 

Lund played bass and toured with the 1990s indie-metal band the smalls before breaking out into his own solo career to write Western songs. He has created a unique and quirky style along the way, which has led to his winning 14 Canadian Country Music Awards, and a debut at the historic Grand Ole Opry. Lund has released 12 studio albums, three of which were certified gold.

The Panida Theater will host Lund at 7 p.m. on Saturday, March 28 for a special show on the main stage (300 N. First Ave., in downtown Sandpoint).

Branson Anderson will open the night, followed by a headliner performance by Lund.
