After an absence of over a decade on our stage, Canadian folk icon Connie Kaldor finally returns to The Carleton on Sunday, May 3rd. Show time is 7 PM and tickets are $40 + HST.

Connie Kaldor—singer-songwriter, entertainer, TV personality, and women’s music pioneer—is  celebrating over 45 years in show business with her upcoming 19th recording, titledWide Open Spaces!

Connie began her career in folk music as part of the Canadian wave alongside artists like Stan Rogers and Valdy. Armed with her enormous stage presence, her unforgettable melodies, and her emotional depth as a songwriter, she became a headline act on the festival circuit.

Her extensive touring has earned her a loyal fan-base that extends far beyond the traditional boundaries of folk. The Boston Globe has described her as, “a masterful performer, wildly funny one moment, deeply personal the next.” A three-time Juno Award winner, Connie is a member of the Order of Canada, a Queen’s Golden Jubilee Medal recipient, holds an honorary doctorate from the University of Regina, and is the first songwriter to receive a Western Literature Association Award of Merit.

At 72, she is not slowing down! In the last year, Connie received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Woodstock Folk Festival, was nominated for a Canadian Folk Music Award and nominated for Song of the Year at the Folk Alliance International Folk Music Awards.
