The April Verch Band

April Verch has never sounded more comfortable in her skin than she does now, in the second decade of her career as an internationally touring Canadian fiddler, step dancer and singer-songwriter. Her ninth album, Bright Like Gold, captures a woman who's fleshed out her identity and is in full command of her gifts, a woman who's grown from a prodigy into an enduring artistone of music's most unforgiving public transitionswith grace and grit to spare.

The April Verch Band-rounded out by bassist and clawhammer banjo player Cody Walters and guitarist Hayes Griffinis an energetic, virtuosic, tradition-celebrating outfit, not to mention one that's not soon forgotten when they depart the stage. It doesn't hurt that the thrilling grand finale involves Verch fiddling and step dancing-and often executing two entirely different intricate rhythmic patterns-at once.

We are thrilled to welcome April and band to Lily Pads for a Friday show. Don't miss this.
