CHEX TV: Kalan at The Peterborough Festival of Lights

Hey guys, whats going on? As you all know, Kalan performed at last night's Festival of Lights in Peterborough. Well, CHEX caught up with him and here you go... (By the way, I just have to say, I heard Kalan performed With Or Without You at the concert! I always hoped he'd do a cover of it, I hope he performs it again actually. Kalan and covers is an amazing combo. )

New look, same fiddling sensation

Festival of Lights headliner Kalan Porter tells crowd he cut his trademark blonde curls to look his age

By Erin Fitzgerald

Kalan Porter's trademark long, blonde curls are gone, replaced by a sleek, straight haircut with blonde highlights. The change makes him hard to recognize.

Last night, Porter fiddled at the Festival of Lights for an audience that sat shoulder to shoulder in their chairs, filling Del Crary Park's lawn.

Porter told the frenzied audience that he decided to cut his locks when a flight attendant recently mistook him for a 14-year-old.

The 22-year-old had been sitting beside an attractive girl at the time. The former "Canadian Idol" winner was quiet behind the scenes last night.

He did a meet and greet with about 20 fans before his show and obligingly gave out hugs and signed memorabilia.

Porter said he had fond memories of Peterborough from when he performed at the festival two summers ago.

"You just remember a show when you had really great energy and that was one of them," he said.

Porter also mentioned that he had a good tour through the city when his driver got lost on the way to the festival.

"I am doing a bit of an experimental show tonight. There will only be three of us onstage, it will be different than what fans are used to."

Fans seemed to buy into the new sound, screaming when he arrived onstage with his fiddle and broke into, "Down In Heaven" from his latest disc.

He mixed his song "Single," from his first album, with Michael Jackson's classic "Billie Jean" bringing some in the crowd out of their seats.

Porter said many songs from his latest CD were inspired from the time he took off from recording to be with his mother when she was diagnosed with breast cancer.

Megan O'Connor, 16 came from Toronto to see the show.

"I'm not usually into this music, but he makes me want to listen to him," she said.

Revitalized Kalan Porter returns to festival

By Paul Rellinger

A lot can happen in a few years. Just ask Kalan Porter.

The Medicine Hat native is just a few years removed from that September 2004 night when he was crowned Canadian Idol, completely an incredible journey which saw him audition with House of the Rising Sun and proceed to beat out 8,977 other contestants for the title.

Tonight (Wednesday) at Del Crary Park, local fans of the 22-year-old pop music recording artist can see and hear for themselves what captured the Idol judges' attention as Porter headlines the Festival of Lights at Del Crary Park, 8 p.m. Earlier, starting at 4 p.m., the festival's Stage 2 will feature local talent in the form of the Hometown Fiddlers, Rick and Gailie, and Robin Hawkins.

Following his Idol success, Porter released his debut album, 219 Days, in November 2004. That spawned the single Awake In a Dream, which debuted at number one on the charts and stayed there for eight weeks. To that point, it was the best-selling debut single by a Canadian artist and led to three Juno Award nominations in 2006.

After taking time off to be with his family as his mother battled breast cancer, Porter returned to record Wake Up Living, released in August 2007. It debuted on the Canadian albums chart at number seven, the first single being Down In Heaven -- a tribute to his mom.

Nice Little Article (New blog!)

"My hometown news wrote this nice little article about an award I recently won.

Socan rented out a nice restaurant in Toronto...

And we partied with all the people that help me do what I do.

Fun night.

Here is the article:

http://www.medicinehatnews.com/content/view/40716/74/

PORTER HONORED BY SOCAN

by ZOE SZUCH

Medicine Hat's very own Canadian Idol season 2 winner Kalan Porter was recently honoured by the Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN).

"It's cool – especially coming from (SOCAN)," said Porter.

Porter's song Hurray received the No.1 Song Award for reaching the top spot on the MuchMusic Countdown chart in late May.

"When we had originally written the song, I really didn't like it – at all. I just wanted to totally scrap it but my manager – to his credit – said 'live with it a bit and change it around a bit,'" said the former Hatter.

The night before Porter was scheduled to record Hurray, he re-wrote the entire thing. "It just sort of came together and became one of my favourite songs," he said of the 2007 release Wake Up Living.

According to Porter, the Hurray video was shot on a budget of about $3,000, "which in videoland is quite low budget," he added. "And I just did it with some kids who were out of Ryerson and put it online... eventually Perez Hilton posted it on his site... and then it sort of snowballed from there."

Porter said winning an award is "really nice because it kind of keeps you going."

Hurray was co-written by with Gregory Johnston and Stevie Sallis and is published by the Southern Music Publishing Co. Canada."

SOCAN honours Kalan Porter’s “Hurray” with No. 1 Song Award

Hey guys, how's your summer going? Fun I hope, since summer vacation is HALF OVER! But, I do have some amazing news for you guys, yes, Kalan has received an award for 'Hurray'!

SOCAN was pleased to honour singer-songwriter Kalan Porter and his co-writer Gregory Johnston with a No. 1 Award for their song “Hurray” which reached the top spot on the MuchMusic Countdown chart on May 29, 2008.

SOCAN’s Vicki Walters, Irene Zeltway and Jacklyn Stott presented the No. 1 Award to Johnston and Kalan – who recorded and performs the song – at Sassafraz restaurant, in Toronto’s fashionable Yorkville district, on the evening of July 9, 2008. (The third co-writer of the song, Stevie Sallis, who is unaffiliated with any performing rights organization, will receive his plaque at a later date.)

The song is published by the Southern Music Publishing Co. Canada, administered by peermusic Canada. Peermusic’s Cheryl Link and Maggie Hidderley also received award plaques at the celebration.

Idol winner takes in Whitchurch-Stouffville songwriting forum

A former Canadian Idol winner headlines a group of performing artists and songwriters from across the country that is writing and recording new tunes in Whitchurch-Stouffville this week.

They are attending a SongWorks session sponsored by the Songwriters Association of Canada at Mysthaven Country Retreat and Spa on Kennedy Road today to Thursday.

The session includes 2005 Canadian idol winner Kalan Porter, 2006 runner-up Rob James, Winnipeg recording artist Jaylene Johnson, award-winning Ottawa singer/songwriter Ana Miura, Toronto artist Martha Koll, songwriter/producer Chris Perry, singer/songwriter Nicole Hughes and producer/songwriter Tino Zolfo.

“We are excited to bring this special songwriting retreat again to Stouffville,” said York Region resident Don Quarles, executive director of the association. “Mysthaven is an incredible venue for these artists and songwriters to collaborate on new songs,”

SongWorks is designed to bring professional songwriters and artists together to create new Canadian songs for upcoming recording artist’s releases.

“SongWorks also brings together songwriters that might not otherwise have the chance to connect and collaborate,” Mr. Quarles said.

Financial assistance for SongWorks came from the Creators Assistance Component through the SOCAN Foundation.

For more information on the Sosngwriters Association of Canada, go to songwriters.ca.

Hello my lovelies! How's everyone's summer going? Good I hope, because mine is hot...and boring, lol. And so, I thought a little bit of Kalan news would do us well. (And for Kalan's blog, scroll down!)

Remember that benefit concert Kalan played at the Micheal J. Fox theatre? Well...

'They thought she couldn't do it, but Burnaby mom Ellen Wong organized a sold-out benefit show at the Michael J. Fox Theatre June 24. Wong raised $12,000 for the B.C. Centre for Ability through a benefit concert staring Canadian Idol Kalan Porter...

"Everyone was very happy, and Kalan gave a tiptop performance that evening," Wong said. Porter stayed after the show to sign autographs for more than 400 people, she added.'

I always find it so amazing how he pretty much stays and signs EVERY last autograph. LOVE it, :D

with a pond for swimming...

trails for hiking...

kayaks for paddling...

a trampoline for jumping...

a hot tube/sauna for relaxing...

... and you lock yourself a in room and write songs.

ex. Asked what he might do with his next album he answered,

"I'm going back and forth between whether I should do something really like indie; kind of weird that I really like, something sort of electro-pop-- not like a Euro-dance record, along the lines of Justice. It's funny, because I have a wide fan base: some of it's young girls, but also a lot of women going from early 30s to 45-50 -- so if I do an electro record I think their heads might explode."
