Valdy (BC)
The name Paul Valdemar Horsdal CM might not ring many bells, but the name Valdy is known and revered by virtually everyone even remotely acquainted with the Canadian folk scene over the past 46 years, which is how long he has been criss-crossing the country in a trusty van or touring overseas. His 16 albums, four gold records, TV and film scores, JUNO Awards, Order of Canada investiture and other accolades tell only part of his storied, um, story. More important than a list of achievements is the way Valdy has consistently connected with audiences year after year, bringing them to their feet as a beloved entertainer with his unaffected warmth, wit, sincerity and humanity. And abundant talent. valdy.com
The North Sound (SK)
Forrest Eaglespeaker and Nevada Freistadt formed The North Sound in 2014 as a vehicle to share stories about Forrest’s Blackfoot identity and Treaty 7 Territory traditions. Since then they have received Sask Music’s Indigenous Artist of the Year Award, shared stages with Canadian artists as diverse as Blue Rodeo and Susan Aglukark, and established themselves on the Canadian and US festival circuit with their genre-spanning roots, rock and folk sound. thenorthsoundmusic.com
