Valdy, born Valdemar Horsdal in Ottawa,  has been part of the fabric of Canadian pop and folk music for over 34 years. A man with a thousand friends, from Newfoundland to Vancouver Island to Texas to New Zealand, he's a singer, guitarist and songwriter who catches the small but telling moments that make up life.

Remembered for “Play Me a Rock and Roll Song”, his bitter-sweet memory of facing a rambunctious audience at the Aldergrove Rock Festival in 1968. Other hits include, “Simple Life (Ode to L.A.)”, “Yes I Can”, “Landscapes” and “Peter & Lou.”  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.

Along the way, Valdy has taken his music to a dozen different countries, from Denmark to Australia and been an often-invited performer at the prestigious Kerrville Festival in Texas. His  television appearances include Canada AM and Open Mike with Mike Bullard. Valdy has also been a panelist on Front Page Challenge, and played a lead role in an episode of The Beachcombers original series.
