“April Verch is known for being one of the world's finest fiddlers and performers
of Canadian traditional music, but on this recording she also reaches deep into
the heart of traditional music of the United States. She approaches this music
with the same richness, charm, beauty and respect with which she plays the
fine music of the Ottawa Valley.
The spirit of traditional music of the United States is not exclusive to the
backwoods of Southern Appalachia, the Ozark mountains, the Mid- western
states, nor to the bayous of Louisiana, but resides deep inside the music itself,
allowing it to be passed from one place to another, from one heart to the next,
coming to life in a person once they've been touched by it. April has been
touched by the music.
For this project April has brought together a great supporting cast. She chose
some of today's finest traditional musicians, who all come from different places
throughout the continent, but all of whom come together of one mind. We love
the music and we love what April does with it. I am very proud to have had the
chance to play on this recording.”
