Golden Link welcomes back the duo of Joe Newberry & April Verch on Friday, March 21 at 7:30 pm at Greece Baptist Church. (Note that it’s a different day of the week than usual.)
Joe Newberry comes from a family of singers and dancers. He took up the guitar and banjo as a boy and learned fiddle tunes from great Missouri fiddlers. April Verch grew up listening to her dad’s country band play for dances in Canada’s Ottawa Valley. She started step dancing at age three and fiddling at age six.
In a Newberry & Verch show, you’ll see first-hand the roots of their music, their love of performing, and their strong musical connection. Original songs join timeless classics and they tell stories to warm the heart. Lively fiddle and banjo numbers combine with traditional dance steps to illustrate happy times when people made their own fun.
Whether it is the power of two voices lifted in harmony, or the tunes calling people to get up and move, these two masters of tradition put on an unforgettable show.
You can hear a sample of their music on YouTube with Joe’s song “I’m Going Home,” co-written with Si Kahn: https://youtu.be/5qqfrfrwIa8.
