Connie Kaldor and Family perform virtually from Montreal

Noted Canadian musician, Connie Kaldor, will play a virtual concert at the Me&Thee on Friday, May 14. Connie is acclaimed as one of Canada’s finest songwriters and has been a full-time musician and a strong proponent for social issues and health concerns for several decades. Connie will be performing this virtual show alongside her two talented sons. The Me&Thee show take place on YouTube and Facebook and it begins at 8:00 p.m.

Connie Kaldor is well-known as an extraordinary performer and has even been named a member of the Order of Canada, Canada’s highest civilian honor. It is given to individuals for “a lifetime of outstanding achievement, dedication to the community and service to the nation.” Connie’s songs give listeners a glimpse into the landscape and people of the Canadian prairies but are also reminders about how home is where the heart is, no matter where we reside. Her repertoire is witty as well as serious and her versatility and talent know no bounds. Connie is not only a musician but a children’s book author, actress, writer, TV show host, and podcaster.

Kaldor grew up in Regina, Saskatchewan and was immersed in music from an incredibly young age. Her influences range from The Beatles to Patsy Kline. After college graduation, she moved to Toronto to pursue theatres as her chosen field but within a few years she opted to follow her passion to songwriting and performing. She has since produced sixteen albums and has played all over North America at small clubs, theatres, and festivals. Lately Connie has been playing with her sons, Gabriel and Aleksi Campagne, who literally grew up on stage along with their mother and their father, Paul Campagne (member of the influential bands, Folle Avoine and Hart Rouge). Expect a dash of everything at the Me&Thee show—each song will present a new sonic palette to suite everyone’s taste.

A suggested donation for this Connie Kaldor show is $20. All are welcome to watch this concert on May 14 at 8:00 p.m. Links will be available on our website at www.meandthee.org but you can also tune into the me&thee Facebook page or YouTube channel (www.youtube.com/metheeTV)
