That's the thing though, Corb Lund is not a huge famous act, he's just a really GOOD act. That's my problem with the Stampede, a lack of quality, not quantity.

Corb Lund is a
perfect fit for the Stampede and should be signed on to play on the Coke stage every year. An award winning country-esque band (certainly not your typical country... more like roots country/folk I guess) that sings about the Alberta/Western/Cowboy lifestyle and plays a great live set. What other band are you going to find that fits the whole Stampede mold so well? Especially when people come from out of the province and country to see what the Stampede is all about and we trump it up to be some sort of unique Calgary experience.
That said, Corb Lund plays at Ranchman's on July 12th so at least they are in town during the Stampede...
