Friday Night Live Music

Connie Gjermundson

A western North Dakota native, Connie Gjermundson has been passionate about country life and country music all her life.

Since first performing at the age of five, she has taught herself a variety of instruments and immersed herself in writing original music as well as playing popular standards. Her single “Ride For Eight Seconds” is currently the theme song of “Wild Rides” on The Cowboy Channel.

Gjermundson infuses her country music with a sampling of folk and blues while lifting her fans with a high energy performance. She is inspired by her own life lessons and the blessings she’s found in raising four children.

Music has been and will continue to be a healing force for Gjermundson. Connie says she can forget about her troubles when she’s playing and singing. She writes about a wide range of life experiences, and feels great joy when others tell her how her music has touched them.
