WINNIPEG – Home Routes is thrilled to present, April Verch, Live From Hollow Reed Studio in Asheville, NC on Oct 27, 2020 at 7pm CT! Presented in collaboration with the Calgary Folk Club, enjoy a night of virtuosic fiddle, dance & song brought to you from Ottawa Valley’s preeminent roots artist, April Verch.

In addition to Verch’s fiddling, vocals, step dancing and foot percussion you’ll be treated to one of her April Verch Band members (also her husband,) Cody Walters, on clawhammer banjo, bass and guitar, for this rare and intimate duo setting.

About APRIL VERCH: For over two decades, fiddler, singer, songwriter and step dancer April Verch has been recording and captivating listeners worldwide. The Ottawa Valley native has garnered praise from music’s heavy hitters including NPR, Rolling Stone, No Depression and more, for her fresh and feisty approach to deep North Americana. Verch’s signature sound blends together regional Canadian, American old-time, classic country and more, resulting in a well-rounded tour-de-force of traditional sounds. On stage is where her diverse repertoire comes to life, with a presence that is versatile, robust, and masterfully executed. Her delicate voice, energetic footwork and stunning playing have brought her to stages across the globe, wowing audiences with her jaw-dropping performance.
With 13 albums and over two decades of touring under her belt, she is a seasoned veteran. Verch won’t be the one to tell you about her championship titles, nominations, and awards, or the fact that she was one of 6 fiddlers who represented the Canadian fiddle tradition to the world at the 2010 Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, as part of a segment called “Fiddle Nation.” Instead, in speaking with her, you’ll hear about how passionate she is about sharing her music; in small gatherings in remote communities in Iqaluit, to large prestigious concert halls like Mozartsal in Vienna.
Verch’s ability to preserve the authentic folk traditions of the past and reintroduce them into the musical landscape of the present is a testament to her masterful musicianship and widespread appeal.
