Aleksi Campagne
February 1 @ 6:30 pm - 9:00 pm
$9.59
Aleksi Campagne grew up on stage. At five years old, he began performing alongside his mother, Canadian folk icon, Connie Kaldor. At nineteen, Campagne moved to Paris to study under jazz-violin legend Didier Lockwood. At twenty-one, he became the only student to have ever been accepted into the classical violin, the jazz violin and the jazz voice performance programs at McGill University. And, by twenty-five, with only a six-song EP, Campagne graced the lineups of some of the most competitive folk festivals across Canada for three consecutive years – including the Regina, Canmore, and Bear Creek Folk Festivals.
Most recently, Aleksi Campagne received both a Canada Council Grant and a FACTOR Grant to fully fund the recording and production of his highly-anticipated 10-song debut album For the Giving. Still based out of his hometown of Montreal, Campagne floors audiences by singing while bowing his violin and seamlessly navigating songs in English and in French. His original music blends folk songwriting with an edgy, multi-layered sound resulting from his unique combination of voice, violin, and looping- effect pedals.
“His performances are impressive not just sonically but also visually as you watch him seamlessly navigate different instruments and languages.” – Garnette Report
