Fiddler, singer and stepdancer April Verch know how relevant an old tune can be. She was raised surrounded by living breathing roots Music - her fathers country band rehearsing, the lively music at church and at community dances; the tunes she roched to win fiddle competitions. She thought every little girl learned to stepdance a the age of three and fiddle at the age of six. She knew nothing else and decided early on that she wanted to be a professional musician.

While April Verch is perhaps best known for playing traditional fiddle styles from her native Ottawa Valley, Canada, her performance extend into old-time American and Appalachian styles and beyond, for a well-rounded tour-de-force of North Americana sounds. Along with Cody Walters (bass, banjo) and Alex Rubin (guitar, mandolin,) Verch tours as a trio with her vocals, fiddle and foot pecussion.
