Singer, songwriter, entertainer, TV personality and women’s music pioneer, Connie Kaldor is celebrating over 45 years in show business and at age 72, she is not slowing down! Her upcoming album Wide Open Spaces is inspired by her roots in the Canadian Prairies.

Connie Kaldor 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, Connie became a consistent headliner on the Canadian folk festival circuit, Kaldor is known for her witty stage presence and a musical repertoire that encompasses elements of country, bluegrass, gospel, rock and jazz. Her extensive touring has earned her a loyal fan-base that extends far beyond the traditional boundaries of folk, and 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.

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. 

In an interview with Winnipeg Free Press, Connie jokes that not many performers can say they gave birth to their backing bands. Along with her husband, both their sons, Aleksi and Gabriel make up the rest of the band. Kaldor performs in English while Paul Campagne is a longtime member of Hart Rouge, the francophone family band from Saskatchewan.

Aleksi was a featured performer here at The Loft in January 2026, presented by Black Fly Jam. “We both released an album last year, my 18th, his first,” Kaldor says.

Kaldor’s new record, Keep Going, is full of the same musicality and story that she is known for. Throughout her career Connie has written serious songs about relationships, life in small towns and the state of the world we live in. But she’s also written humorous songs and her concerts are filled with lots of fun banter between songs. What she’s discovered lately is that her humor may be keeping her from being taken as seriously as other songwriters. This had a big influence on what songs she included on her new album, Keep Going. She describes them as “songwriter songs.

”“I’m always smarter in my songs than I am in real life. I have a line in one of my songs that says, ‘Music is the one place that I feel like I belong.’”
