Midwest Theater presents April Verch & Cody Walters

April Verch & Cody Walters
Fiddler, singer, and step dancer April Verch knows how relevant an old tune can be.  She was raised surrounded by living, breathing roots music - her father's country band rehearsing; the lively music at church and at community dances; the tunes she rocked out to win fiddle competitions.  She thought every little girl learned to step dance at the age of three and fiddle at the age of six.  She knew nothing else and decided early on that she wanted to be a professional musician.

She took that leap, and for over two decades has been recording and captivation audiences worldwide, exploring new and nuanced places each step of the way.  On April 12, 2019, Verch released her twelfth recording, Once A Day, via Slap Town Records.  A followup to her 2017 career - spanning release The April Verch Anthology, this new album is a heartfelt homeage to 1950's and 60' classic country.
