Valdy with special guest, Ryan Hennessey performs live on Friday, October 14, 2011@ The Lido. Doors open at 7:00pm.

Valdy, is a Canadian folk musician whose solo career began in the early 1970s. He is maybe best known for “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 is a singer, guitarist and songwriter who catches the small but telling moments that make up life. Valdy is an energetic performer, famous for jigging and dancing on stage, and establishing rapport with young and adult audiences alike. To date he has 14 albums, 22 singles, and four gold records, and has sold nearly half a million units worldwide. Since 1974 he has received 12 Juno nominations. His songs have been recorded by many other artists; perhaps the biggest genre leap occurred when "A Good Song" was recorded under the title "Just a Man" by American jazz artist Quincy Jones.

Tickets:
