Tony Lundervold

Tony has played many gigs as a solo artist and has had a very positive response from his fans. His solo gigs are not only very entertaining but also provide a great option for venues who may not have the budget for a full band. If you desire a band Tony has multiple musicians he works with whom are extremely talented that will be available at a moments notice for events that would prefer the full band experience (Band size depends on venue needs, please specify.) Available band members include steel guitar, electric guitar, bass guitar, rhythm guitar, and drums. Tony performs hits off of his debut album "From the Ranch to the Rodeo" which was nominated by the Academy of Western Artists for the 2015 Western Album of the Year. In addition to some originals, Tony plays many classic country and western covers by Merle Haggard, Chirs LeDoux, Johnny Cash, George Strait, Willie Nelson, Randy Travis, and many more. Tony as a solo artist or with the band are both great options and one you definitely want to add to your venues entertainment.

Tony Lundervold has always had a passion for two things in his life, rodeo and music. For 13 years, rodeo took up most of Tony's time and focus. Many years of determination paid off when he was crowned the 2009 Northwest Professional Rodeo Association's Saddle Bronc Riding Champion. Unfortunately, the following year he suffered a severe broken neck and was forced to retire from the sport. For the next couple of years Tony toyed with the idea of competing again but decided it was time to put all of his focus on his music and try to achieve his musical goals. Although Tony has put competition in his past, rodeo still plays a large role in the songs he writes and sings.

Coming from a musical family, Tony has always had a love for music. His dad played a large role in the styles of music Tony enjoys such as country, western, yodeling, oldies, gospel, and even a little Hawaiian music. He grew up singing in the church choir with his entire family. In his late teens Tony's mom gave him his first guitar, one she had herself many years prior. From that moment on he knew music would always be a large part of his life.
In 2007 Tony married Richelle and welcomed two daughters into his life, Kelli, and Brenna. Three years later in 2010, Tony and Richelle had Bailey Rae. The family now resides on a nice piece of land in Sublimity, OR.

Tony has put all the dedication and determination, that he learned from years of rodeo, into his music and more specifically into his first album. "From the Ranch to the Rodeo." This debut album was recorded at Arctic Sound Studios in Columbia, TN just outside of Nashville and released on January 13th, 2015. Since that time the album has had significant airplay from radio stations all across the world and received many positive reviews. More recently Tony's debut album was nominated for the 2015 Academy of Western Artists Western Album of the Year.
