That’s How We Run
Slab Town Records
Already
known amongst Canadians, April Verch is Ottawa Valley’s shining star on the
fiddle. Now, a regular fixture on the U.S. touring circuit, April has made a
name for her fiddling away and proclaiming the historical and original tunes of
Canada for most of her life. The last few recordings touched on U.S. folk tunes
and traditions, which are relatively connected with their northern kin of
Canada. Nevertheless, April presents us with seventeen delicious tracks of
original and traditional tunes. Some are completely instrumental, incorporating
the fiddle, banjo, bass, guitar, accordion, and pedal steel, while others
possess April’s sweet and tender vocal abilities. Though, Riley Baugus adds
vocals to “Lazy John.” Each track is upbeat and spritely. Anyone with an
interest in fiddle tunes, bluegrass, Americana, and folk music should add April
Verch to their collection. ~ Matthew Forss
