April Verch Band Performance

JUNO Award nominated April Verch's high-energy show blends her talents as a fiddler, singer/songwriter and stepdancer into a charming, vibrant display of music and dancing that sets her apart from the rest. It's old-time with a side of Canada's Ottawa Valley, mixing plucky, straight-backed Canadian tunes with ancient Appalachian ballads with such a deft touch you’d think they’d been neighbors for centuries. April is the first woman in history to win both of Canada’s most prestigious fiddle championships – the Grand Masters and Canadian Open – and has been called a "world class fiddler" by Sam Bush. It's an opinion her home country seems to agree with, selecting her to perform in the opening ceremonies for the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver. Throw down the plywood and let April and her boys do the rest!
