The Canadian-based singer will head south to Texas for his first headlining performance at Pride Frisco at Toyota Stadium. From his small town on Vancouver Island to the Big D (and the Frisco ‘burb), Salgado is ready to serve. “Being a first for me, I’m excited and so honored that they wanted to have me,” Salgado said by phone from his home.
Salgado’s singing talents put him in front of a wider audience when he became a finalist on the second season of Canada’s Got Talent and before that on American Idol.
Saying “yes” to this event was a big move for Salgado. “When it comes to opportunities like this, I’m gobsmacked,” he said. “I’m from this small town and while I love the people and community here, there aren’t a lot of possibilities to do something like this.
