A legend is coming to back to town! Valdy, a Canadian music icon, is going to entertain the audience with his well-known and much-loved songs at a fundraising concert at St. George’s United Church on Friday, March 21, 2025, 7pm. The concert will raise money for the Comox Valley Youth Music Center (CYMC) and St. George’s United Church. Tickets are $25 in advan ce or $30 at the door. Valdy, born Valdemar Horsdal in Ottawa, Canada has been part of the fabric of Canadian pop and folk music for almost 40 years. He’s a singer, guitarist and songwriter who catches the small but telling moments that make up life. According to the Toronto Star, “Valdy remains one of the country’s purest and most credible storytellers.”Recognized especially for “Play Me a Rock and Roll Song,” his bitter-sweet memory of finding himself, Valdy has sold almost half a million copies of his 13 albums, 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.One of Canada’s most influential songwriters, Valdy’s composition, “A Good Song,” was recorded under the title “Just a Man” by the venerable Quincy Jones. “Play Me a Rock and Roll Song” has been recorded by a few artists, including John Kay of Steppenwolf.CYMC is a catalyst, inspiring young musicians to pursue a lifelong passion for music and theatre. It serves as a beacon for music and theatre education for aspiring musicians and performers through the operation of the annual CYMC Summer Music School.St. George’s raises funds through a variety of events during the year to benefit local non-profits. In 2023, the church donated more than $40,000 to community groups, including Habitat for Humanity, LUSH, the Comox Valley Food Bank, the Coldest Night of the Year, the Comox Valley Child Development Association, the Transition Society, and many others.SHOW REVIEWS… “…judging by last night’s performance, Valdy’s musical magic is alive and well.”Beacon Herald “One of the best evenings of entertainment Confederation Centre has ever seen….a man of formidable talents.”Charlottetown Evening Patriot “Valdy remains one of the country’s purest and most credible storytellers.”Toronto Star “He’s a master of country, folk, rock and blues, and the catch is thatwhatever the sound, people know that Valdy is sincere.”Saskatoon Star Phoenix “Valdy’s show is a disarming and practical blend of respect for the audience and show business expertise.”Edmonton Journal
