The Brownville Concert Series will present The April Verch Band in “An Evening with April Verch.” The April Verch Band features world-class musicians April Verch on fiddle, Cody Walters on upright-electric bass and banjo, and Alex Rubin on guitar and mandolin.

Together, these three passionate musicians tour tirelessly across Canada, the United States, the U.K., Europe, Australia, and China. They have established a reputation as consummate performers, winning over audiences not only with sheer virtuosity on their respective instruments, but also with charm, humor and boundless energy on stage.

They will perform in cabaret on Friday and Saturday, May 3 and 4, at 7:30 p.m. and in concert on Sunday, May 5, at 2:00 p.m. Sponsors are Jan Chism Wright (in memory of David Wright), David and Nicole Kaufman, Brownville Fine Arts Association, and Melva Sage.

April Verch steps, sings, and fiddles with a fresh and feisty approach and has been doing it for over two decades. The Ottawa Valley native has garnered praise from music’s heavy hitters including NPR, Rolling Stone, No Depression and more. Verch’s signature sound blends together regional Canadian, American old-time, bluegrass, country and Americana, resulting in a well-rounded tour-de-force of traditional sounds. Her delicate voice, energetic footwork and stunning playing have brought her to stages across the globe. Verch’s ability to preserve the authentic folk traditions of the past and reintroduce them into the musical landscape of the present is a testament to her masterful musicianship.

Cody Walters started playing upright bass while attending college at the University of Kansas in 1999. He has since played in various bands, performing different styles of music, from bluegrass to old-time, jazz to Latin, folk and country and most spots in between. More recently he has added the claw hammer banjo to his roster of talents, adding a melody to the low end of his sound. His banjo style has quickly become his own. He has been a member of the April Verch Band since January 2007.

Alex Rubin is a Boston-based guitarist and educator. At the age of 17, Alex turned his musical interests from classical violin to bluegrass guitar. In 2014, Alex started the folk duo, No Bones About It, with banjoist BB Bowness. Together they have performed around the northeast, including performances at the Freshgrass Music Festival and Club Passim. Alex joined the April Verch Band in March 2016.
