Theres an update on the Calgary show
Hi ‘ the Calgary show is 4 in the afternoon. There was a typo on the previous message. Just to clarify so that everyone catches the whole show. I can hardly wait to see the Rockies, even from a distance.
In honor of the junos in Regina, Bushwakers pub is having a Connie Kaldor entree. Yes you guessed it, perogies, koulbasa and saskatoon scone. I’m pumped. I sent them the perogie video to keep them inspired. If there is time I am going to make it there tuesday to get a picture of it. What perogie video you ask? oh how could you have missed it. I will reattach at the end of this post
I had hoped to have the recording finished to launch a new album on this tour but good things always take longer than you think. I know bad things last longer or maybe it only feels that way. We have a new song called Bill’s got it back. I think that Bill will be coming into the studio to record the bass part which promises to be great. I will try and get some previews of the album tracks, I mean other than the perogie song.
I had a great conversation with Cam Fuller of the Star Phoenix the other day. I love newspapers, I like to read in depth about an issue, or choose the issues I want to explore. There is something about folding a newspaper, or isolating the sudoku, that is a comforting. To sit in a sunny room on a saturday and read the newspaper feels decadent. A three dollar lux. I know that is old fashioned but it always makes me want to drink coffee and croissant.

Spring starts in Montreal and moves West
April 2013. We are recording these days, the cast is off and there are rehearsals and new songs being sung. We were hoping to have the new album out for the tour but a broken arm put us back by several weeks. I am amazed at how it is healing though. Guitar playing is the physio of choice. I did manage to do one original cast recording… I know I love bad puns and here is the video link
I hope it makes you smile. I can hardly wait to unveil it to Brandon.
I am going to catch a little of that spring on the prairies this year! yeah! Hopefully that will be with the “sun in your eyes” as opposed the “blizzard on the way”. I’m in recording at the moment so that means new songs to launch on the tour. Ive also planned some video recording in early April with the wildly talented Ian Strang. I am threatening to make my own video while my cast is still on. Yes I want to do an original cast recording. Keep your eyes open. All exciting stuff but I can hardly wait to get back on the road and see the lights go up. I get to start at the fabulous Segal Centre here in montreal. This is going to be a thrill to play in a series they call Women of the World. It is so great to be part of this series!

Canada Day at the Garden Party
This Canada Day I was singing in Regina at the Lieutenant Governor’s garden party. It was hot and sunny and the beautiful grounds were filled with about 3000 people looking for shade. I played this free family event with my family, Gabriel and Aleksi who are both working in Saskatchewan this summer and Paul who is out farming in Saskatchewan for July and August as well. It was great to sing as many of my Saskatchewan songs as I could in the time allotted. There is something about standing on a place where history has swirled around and to be part of a tradition. As well it is always nice to have a chance to sing back in my home town and have my mom in the audience. I am going to be working out of Saskatchewan this summer. I am looking out my window over the coolees as I write this note. I am trying to get as much writing in as possible and use the quiet to get some of my scoring projects finished.
I will keep you posted, me and the coyotes out here. Connie
What do you Think?
Love Saskatchewan guitar version
Love Saskatchewan piano version
Thanks for coming to the site. We are trying to get our site to the top of the search results for Connie Kaldor and every hit gets us closer. We have been busy recording for a new album. We have a song that we have produced in two different ways. Would you help us by telling us which one you like best? We have a guitar version and a piano version. It is a song written as an answer to last years CBC song challenge. I thought that even though Love, Sask. didn’t enough votes to get chosen it definitely deserved a song. So I just went ahead and did it. You don’t need to be chosen to be a winner. Thanks for taking the time to listen and just click on the” subscribe to the comments for this post ” below. If you are coming to any of our shows this spring in Calgary, Spruce Grove, Edmonton, Kelowna, Penticton, Sundre, Calgary again, MooseJaw or Saskatoon you can tell us there. If you would like a free download of the version of your choice email us at conniekaldor@gmail.com and we will gladly send one along. Thanks again for helping us out.
SPRING TOUR DATES IN THE PRAIRIES
March 15 2011
I think I felt spring in the air. Maybe it was the geese passing overhead. It has been a strange winter here in Montreal. How about where you live?
Like every parent with kids involved in the arts or sport, I did a fundraiser on Sunday after noon. It was a fundraiser for the Irish Dance champions on their way to the worlds Irish Dance Championship in Belfast. We were the band for a fundraising afternoon at Hurley’s Irish pub in downtown Montreal. Bill Hurley graciously donated the space and the food to feed the crowd. Yes, I learned all the words to such classics as Whiskey you’re my darling drunk or sober”’ I relied on my bass player Bill Gossage and his long years as the Celtic bass player for a hundred St Patrick’s day gigs. It was great fun. I will never be stuck on St Patrick’s day again. The whole family was up there singing and playing for the crowd. The dancers , including my son Aleksi, were amazing . These dancers have been training for years. It is always a pleasure to see anything done at that level of skill. Just a little inspiration to get ready to head out on tour out west myself! Here are the dates for April. Hopefully we are coming to where you live. See you there.

It is going to be great to be back out west and to play these folk clubs that have been a pleasure all my performing life. I can remember the thrill of landing these folk clubs when I was starting out in Edmonton. They were the cream of the crop in the folk scene and they still are. I can hardly wait
. Some old places some new, the Rockies the plains, and spring to boot.
Spring in the prairies comes like a surprise,
One minute there’s snow on the ground
the next there’s sun in yours eyes.. Connie
