Connie Kaldor (QC)

If there are any honours Connie Kaldor CM has not already earned in her glittering career in Canadian music, they’re probably waiting in her mailbox. Order of Canada, Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal, Honorary Doctorate, multiple JUNOs, Lifetime Achievement Award from the Woodstock Folk Festival, the only thing missing is my coveted Nobel for Mediocrity. But if you think that by now she would be resting on her laurels, you’d be wrong. Her prolific studio output in recent years sees her continuing to explore the meaning and mythology of Canadian prairie life on releases like Wide Open Spaces. Blessed with a musically gifted family, including husband Paul Campagne and sons Aleksi and Gabrielle, Connie is a perennial gift that keeps giving to us all. conniekaldor.com

Special Guest: Gabriel Campagne (QC)

Born into Canadian folk music royalty, Gabriel Campagne has forged his own path playing talents he comes by honestly. Steeped in espresso, cabaret culture, back alleys and the ethnic melting pot of Montréal, he studied classical voice at McGill University and writes in both French and English. After fronting the band Les Barricades, he now intersperses his solo career with occasional family gigs. One reviewer summed up his métier as drawing from Randy Newman, Pavarotti and Jacques Brel. gabrielcampagne.com
