Harrison Hot Springs, December 13, 2025: The Harrison Festival Society is delighted to announce that one of Canada’s most revered folk singers, Valdy, will be returning to Harrison Hot Springs for a show on Saturday, January 11, 2025.

Valdy, born Valdemar Horsdal in Ottawa, has been part of the fabric of Canadian pop and folk music for over 45 years.  A singer, guitarist, and songwriter whose work captures the small but telling moments that make up life, Valdy is best known for “Play Me a 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. However that well known song is just the tip of the iceberg of a huge body of work. He 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.

As well as Valdy's songwriting credentials, he has honed an informal performance style that nonetheless shows a confidence gained over decades of touring. "Valdy has a way of making the crowd feel comfortable from the first note, and of making any room feel intimate," says Harrison Festival Artistic Director Andy Hillhouse. "He's the consummate performer."  Now at 80 years old, Valdy is still rocking the stage with the energy of someone half his age.

Tickets are $28 and are on sale now.  Kids 12 and under are free. For more information on tickets and the artist, please visit harrisonfestival.com
