Connie Kaldor and Garnet Rogers

Two Canadian Music Legends at The Octave!
Connie Kaldor has traveled prairie backroads to visit modest community centres and sold out concert halls in major cities. From Beijing to New Delhi to Saskatoon to Washington, Connie has triumphed with her powerful and moving mix of song and humour. She's won multiple JUNOs and her song Wood River was chosen by Canadian Geographic as one of Canadas finest songs. She is the only songwriter to win the Western Literary Association award of merit and is a member of the Order of Canada.
Described by the Boston Globe as "One of the major talents of our time," Garnet Rogers was barely out of high school when he started working as a full-time musician with his older brother Stan. Together they formed what has come to be accepted as one of the most influential acts in North American folk music. His music, like the man himself, is literate, passionate, highly sensitive, and deeply purposeful. As memorable as his songs, his over-the-top humour and lightning-quick wit moves his audience from tears to laughter and back again.
