Valdy

British Columbia

Valdy (Valdemar Horsdal) has been part of the fabric of Canadian pop and folk music for half a century. He is well known for “Play Me a Rock ‘n’ Roll Song” but has also delighted audiences everywhere performing classics such as “Peter & Lou”, “Yes I Can”, “Renaissance”, “Sonny’s Dream” and many more. One of Canada’s premier folk artists, and a member of the Order of Canada, Valdy has sold almost half a million copies of his 16 albums. He has released 22 singles, has two Juno Awards (Folk Singer of the Year and Folk Entertainer of the Year), a total of seven Juno nominations, and four Gold albums to his credit. A man with a thousand friends, from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island to Cape Breton Island to Texas to New Zealand, he’s a singer, guitarist, and songwriter who catches the small but telling moments that make up life.
