APRIL VERCH IN CONCERT
March 3

Experiencing an April Verch show is like hopping a supersonic freight train from an old lumber camp in Northern Ontario, across the wide open prairie, through the Appalachians, down the Mississippi to the Louisiana Bayou, across the sea to Brazil, France, the Scottish Highlands and back, with stops at Carnegie Hall and church thrown in for good measure. 

April is not just a world-class fiddler, she is also a world-class dancer, and a singer whose voice has been hailed as “absolutely captivating” by the Toronto Star.  Since signing with Rounder in 2000, she has toured tirelessly, winning over audiences not only with her sheer technical ability, but also with her charm, humor and boundless energy on stage.  

An April Verch concert is equal parts invigorating, surprising, heartbreaking, heartwarming, haunting, charming, thrilling, foot-stomping, faith-restoring, and smile-inducing – all in all, utterly unforgettable.  It’s a musical journey you do not want to miss, one that will have you entranced from start to finish, and ultimately not wanting to get off that train you hopped on just two hours earlier.

Oak Street Hotel brings April Verch to The Columbia Center for the Arts on March 3 at 7 pm.  Advance tickets are $16, available at the Oak Street Hotel.

Stay the weekend at the Oak Street Hotel.  Ski during the day with $29 lift tickets for downhill skiing or enjoy numerous cross country trails.  Enjoy the April Verch concert in the evening and great area restaurants.
