Holiday Cheer with Newberry & Verch

Joe Newberry and April Verch are masters of their traditions. For these veteran performers who come from distinct traditions and parts of the world, their collaboration is fueled by their kindred passion for bringing people together to celebrate traditional music. Tunes, ballads, step dancing, and original songs by way of Canada and the Ozarks ring like silver and shine like gold. Their voices blend in harmony, their tasteful instrumentals prove that these masters have nothing left to prove, and their feet kick up the dust in perfect rhythm. When these two hit the stage, they make audiences remember why this music existed in the first place.

Growing up, musicians Joe Newberry and April Verch absorbed traditions of home and hearthin his Missouri Ozarks and her Ottawa Valley of Canada. The holidays have always been a special time of year for both, with the lure of family and friends, festive decorations, gifts under the tree, and always. music. So now, each year the duo sets out in a modern day sleigh (with four-wheel drive) to perform their eagerly anticipated holiday tour. Original songs join timeless hymns. Stories warm the heart and give a twinkle to the eye. Lively fiddle and banjo numbers combine with traditional dance steps to illustrate happy times when people made their own fun at the holidays, and all year long.
