Lakes District Arts Council (LDAC) is proud to present British Columbia鈥檚 folk icon and touring legend Valdy is coming back to 亚洲天堂 Lake. A master of folk, blues, rock and roots, Valdy is one of Canada鈥檚 best-loved performers and has a humorous and engaging stage presence. The show takes place at the First Mennonite Church Oct. 1 at 7:30 p.m.
Valdy will perform with the 'blue-haired priestess of the bassoon,' Nadina Mackie Jackson, whom Valdy describes as "incomparable." They weave their musical paths into a tapestry of musical styles ranging from folk to baroque and coloured by a friendship that reaches across the stage and across musical genres.
Joined by jazz pianist Karel Roessingh the trio mixes the Valdy song book, jazz and classical works, including Vivaldi, to delight audiences of all ages and backgrounds.
