The Charlotte Folk Society Presents:
*Carolina Gator Gumbo*
The Great Aunt Stella Center
- Fri., Nov. 14th, 7:30 pm
No Cover; donations appreciated. http://www.folksociety.org
*April Verch Band
Concert*
The Great Aunt Stella Center - Fri., Nov. 21st, 8pm
The Charlotte Folk Society is presenting the April Verch
Band in their Queen City debut concert. This band has established a
reputation as consummate performers in Canada, the U.S., the U.K., and Europe,
winning over audiences with sheer virtuosity, charm, humor, and boundless energy
on stage. April Verch combines the talents of Natalie MacMaster and Alison
Krauss - all in one person. This young woman from Ontario's Ottawa Valley
captured both the Canadian Grand Masters Fiddle Champion and
Canadian Open Fiddle Champion titles when barely in her
twenties. She is a stepdancing champion who performed with the Pilatzke brothers
(now touring with Irish music legends, The Chieftains) as a
member of the Dueling Dancers, a troupe that earned national attention for its
blend of innovative and traditional Ottawa Valley stepdancing. As well as
fiddling, dancing and composing, April is a vocalist whose voice has been hailed
as "absolutely captivating" by the Toronto Star. April's 2008
release, her seventh album, "Steal the Blue," was recorded in Nashville, and was
co-produced by Stephen Mougin (Sam Bush Band) and Jon Weisberger. Visit http://www.folksociety.org to watch from a selection of 15 of
her videos. "This concert is undoubtedly November's best entertainment value."
- Wanda Hubicki, Charlotte Folk Society
The Great Aunt Stella Center, 926
Elizabeth Ave., Charlotte, NC
Advance tickets: $15 adults; $10 ages 15 &
younger; buy online at http://www.folksociety.org. At the door: $17 adults; $12 ages
