The April Verch Band in Concert
A beguiling blend of folk, jazz, old-time, bluegrass and roots music woven together with precision, intensity, and soul, infusing fiddle playing and stepdancing. Her pure voice mixes with the detailed elegance of her fiddle phrasing ranging through material from bluegrass to Brazilian to Celtic, from a jaunty Canadian folksong to a poignant contemporary ballad. April is world-class fiddler, a champion Ottawa Valley stepdancer, an acclaimed composer, and a vocalist whose voice has been hailed as “absolutely captivating” by the Toronto Star. The April Verch Band features world-class musicians Marc Bru on percussion, Lincoln Meyers on guitar, and Cody Walters on upright-electric bass. Don’t miss April’s return to West Michigan.
