On Saturday, November 26th, come to the Big Yellow Merville hall and see Canadian musical icon, Valdy, who is regarded as one of this country’s most distinctive and successful minstrels. With two Juno Awards, and 7 Juno nominations, he has sold almost half a million copies of his 15 albums, and is remembered for "Play Me a Rock and Roll Song", his bitter-sweet memory of finding himself, a relaxed and amiable story-teller, facing a rambunctious audience at the Aldergrove Rock Festival circa 1968.
Valdy has taken his music to dozens of countries, from Europe to Australia and New Zealand. He is a man with a thousand friends, from Newfoundland to Texas and is a singer, guitarist and bassist songwriter who catches the small but telling moments that make up life. He's a master of country, folk, rock and blues, and the catch is that whatever the sound, people know that Valdy is sincere.
The concert in the Big Yellow Hall will be the windup show of Valdy’s fall Cross-Canada tour so he will be playing like a well oiled machine by the time he lands in Merville. Few performers are capable of achieving the kind of energy he generates on stage and he promises to deliver with a whallop. So come on down to the warm and cozy hall and settle in for an evening of delightful folk tunes.
Tickets $20/$10 at the door and at Long & McQuade, Courtenay; Blue Heron, Comox; and Music Plant, Campbell River.
