"The Amundruds are a very gifted family, not only vocally but as musicians and songwriters. Glen and Linda were blessed with talent themselves along with Gary, Daryl, Loriyln and Sheri. Put them all together on stage and you can feel the love of Jesus shared through their songs. I heard them for the first time on CD. After listening and then having the chance to see the group perform live, I knew then that the Amundruds are doing what God has planned for them. With their first single "Roller Coaster" released to Christian Country radio climbing to the top 20 on the Power Source Christian Country charts makes us real curious about one thing. When do we get to hear the next single? This group has what we all want to hear!! The Amundruds come highly recommended by me for your next church concert, festival or venue." (January 2008)

“We had the Amundrud family at our Heritage Gospel Jamboree in North Battleford, Saskatchewan and were thrilled with their musical ability as well as their attitudes throughout the whole event. From the very beginning they pitched in and helped in whatever way they could. Their performance was lively, well done and the crowd responded very favorably to each musical set. I had never heard them live before and thought they had an excellent sound. Their sincerity and genuine nature really came across. I would recommend them in any musical setting that wants some great Gospel music” - Duncan A. Hemmerling
"The Amundruds were at the Canada Christian Music Conference...and we had great feedback from those who attended…They have good energy on stage and rapport with the audience. They really seem to enjoy what they are doing and that’s evident by their presence and the audience response. It’s always a treat to see a family working together. People love to hear success stories and testimonies of how God has worked miracles in people’s lives…They have a great ministry as a family…” - Natalie Harder
"Allow me to extend greetings and appreciation to you and your team for willingly complying with the invitation to support this vital ministry. Your outstanding contribution and ministry in songs rendered was a blessing to us all in itself. The time spent together was joyful and anointed. May God grant you His peace and blessed assurance as you continue steadfast always abounding in His Grace." - Pastor Sam W. Agyemang
"I have played your music on the Southern Gospel Lighthouse program and it has been a great blessing... There is some great talent out there and it's wonderful to have it all come together. Your family has wonderful harmony and I'm really glad to have your music to play on the program...May the Lord continue to bless your ministry.

Bio
Blending faith-based lyrics with the musical styles of pop and country, the Amundruds continue to share a message of Hope in Jesus wherever they go. Excitement, Spiritual anointing, Christian family values and encouraging testimonies combined with great Gospel music make up a concert with The Amundruds. In the midst of our struggles and trials, it is reassuring to be reminded of the hope we have in Jesus.
Gary, Daryl, Sheri Amundrud & Jessica Burton joined by Glen & Linda Amundrud all share a common desire to touch lives and reach the lost. Their unique ability to communicate through song has made them a favourite in Gospel music today with their appearances at music festivals and concerts across North America. The group's contagious energy spreads through entertaining performances bringing listeners their refreshing approach to well-known Gospel & CCM songs as well as their own new material that is distinctly The Amundruds.
Glen and Linda were married in 1974 and accepted the Lord shortly after. Their faith has been challenged from time to time. They were unable to have children, but they fasted and prayed. God answered prayer after eight years of longing, trusting and waiting for a miracle. They were blessed with two sons, Gary and Daryl, and two daughters, Lorilyn & Sheri. They all love the Lord and serve Him.
They have received numerous award nominations in the Gospel Music Association (GMA Canada), the Saskatchewan Country Music Association (SCMA - Canada), the Inspirational Country Music Association (ICM - USA), and the SGN Diamond Awards (USA). They have also been honored with Country Gospel Album of The Year and Southern Gospel Song of the Year Awards. Even more rewarding has been the opportunity to meet and minister with people in towns and cities across Canada and the United States.
The Amundruds' goal is to be a light and a blessing to those they meet. For more than 10 years this family group from Lloydminster, Saskatchewan has ministered to audiences through their thought-provoking lyrics, innovative musical arrangements and life-changing testimonies giving all the glory to God.
"The harmonies that are a signature sound of the Amundruds are a reflection of the family unity that has made this group a favourite for years. With innovative arrangements and a life-changing testimony, The Amundruds are one of the reasons Southern Gospel and Country is a vital part of Canadian Christian music." - Martin Smith (President, Gospel Music Association Canada)
