Event Description
Victoria Folk Music Society weekly gathering; Open Stage 7:30pm. Feature Performer 9pm Dec 11 Valdy; 1110 Hillside Avenue, $8 cash, Everyone welcome!
Returning to the VFMS stage for his fifth feature at the club, Canada's legendary folkie Valdy is coming to brighten up our December!
Valdy has toured Canada for close to fifty years and as well as regularly playing in New Zealand, he has also toured Austria, Denmark, Germany, Holland, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland and is an oft-invited performer at dozens of music festivals, including the Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas.
"I've been lucky," Valdy says, when asked about his career's longevity. "I've worked with some amazing people, players, innovative producers, great songwriters….and I married the right woman!’
‘Is that luck? Or is that moving at God's speed?” he muses. “I mean, it's more than strategy that puts these folks along my path. Sure I'm good at what I do, and I'm getting better, I'm paying attention, and I'm learning, but I've lived a charmed life, with a supportive partner, a glorious daughter, two vibrant sons, my health in tact; I am a really lucky man!”
And how lucky are we to be welcoming Valdy to Victoria?! This is a folk night you definitely don’t want to miss!!
