Interview with Graham Trude

Ontario Country artist GRAHAM TRUDE is an avid outdoorsman who shares his love of life through his music and passion for his country through his lyrics. He developed a love of Country music at a young age, listening to the songs of Brooks 'n Dunn, Garth Brooks and various artists who made a lasting impact on him. It wasn't long before he began writing and performing his own music. As a hard-core patriot, Graham’s life took a turn in 2007 after joining the Canadian Forces, but he never lost touch with his love of music. While posted as a member of the Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadian’s) Tank Regiment in Edmonton, Alberta, his music career really began to flourish. He began writing about his journey thoughout Canada and the developments of his life through the forces and experiences which he had overcome. Graham took his love of music with him wherever he went including his training in provinces across Canada and further to Dubai, Germany and Kandahar, Afghanistan where he was on mission fighting as a front line soldier. During special Thanksgiving & Christmas events in Afghanistan, Graham shared songs and music with many others so far from home which was moral boosting and relatable to many soldiers. Tune in as Graham shares stories and some songs including his popular radio single Redneck Pride.
