The April Verch Band

Acclaimed Rounder Records recording artist, April Verch, is a Canadian fiddle and step-dancing champion and singer. Though her musical roots lie deep in the fiddling of her native Ottawa Valley, her repertoire also features traditional and contemporary tunes ranging in source and inspiration from Quebecois to the Appalachians, from Bluegrass to Brazilian. Renowned, too, for her mastery of the high energy Ottawa Valley step-dancing style, the April Verch Band's blend of driving fiddle playing, dynamic dancing and sweet soprano vocals never fails to bring down the house!

The Claire Lynch Band

By any measure, the Claire Lynch Band is high on the bluegrass world's A-List, with musicians whose accolades include International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) Female Vocalist of the Year and two Grammy nominations for Best Bluegrass Album (Claire); five IBMA Bass Player of the Year awards (Missy Raines); and two IBMA Guitar Player of the Year awards (Jim Hurst). Claire's collaboration with Missy Raines and Jim Hurst dates back to the days of the Front Porch String Band, resulting in a seasoned sound that is simultaneously unpretentious and richly textured. It's a down-home, front porch sensibility - until you realize that it's a rare front porch, indeed, that has ever hosted musicians of this caliber.

Mike Seeger

For the past five decades, Mike Seeger has played an integral role in helping to revive interest in traditional string band music. Since his first recordings with the New Lost City Ramblers in the late nineteen fifties, Mike has gone on to record more than forty albums, six of which have been honored with Grammy nominations. Mike's music conveys all the depth of feeling, the sheer energy and the infinite variety and texture of true rural music. Like earlier musicians, Mike seeks out his own vision of the music by creating within its traditions, making his music uniquely his own. As he sings the old songs, he plays in a wide variety of old-time styles, accompanying himself on an array of instruments, including banjo, fiddle, guitar, trump (jaw harp), mouth harp (harmonica), quills, lap dulcimer, mandolin and autoharp.
