| October 21, 2007: April Verch Band | ||
|
We welcome another first-timer to the Community Hall - April Verch - who integrates fiddle playing, stepdancing, and singing into a unique, electrifying performance. While her music largely draws on the simple country songs and roots music from her native Ottawa Valley, she goes beyond this with music such as rare French Canadian fiddle tunes and songs from American Appalachia. April began playing fiddle at the age of three and released two recordings of her own by the time she finished high school. She won both the Canadian Grand Masters Fiddle and Open Fiddle Championships. Verchuosity, her first Rounder Records release in 2000, earned rave reviews and a JUNO ("Canadian Grammy") award nomination. Her performance is "playful and flirtatious, whimsical and wry a transcendent level of musicianship where hard-earned technique can safely be abandoned" (Toronto Star). April is joined by Marc Bru on percussion, Isaac Callender on guitar, and Cody Walters on upright electric bass. Come prepared to stomp your feet as the April Verch Band presents an entertaining evening of music and dance.
