The Scott Woods Band is set to kick off its Fiddle Legends tour, which pays tribute to Don Messer, Al Cherny, King Ganam, Graham Townsend, Ward Allen and many others, with old time fiddling, championship step dancing and gospel music.
Organizers say Woods’ trick fiddling and humour will keep entire families entertained. Woods has earned the Canadian Novelty Champion title for his trick fiddling and also the nickname “The Flippin’ Fiddler.”
A sixth generation fiddler, Woods is a two-time Canadian Open Fiddle Champion and two-time Canadian Grand Master Fiddle Champion. He was the musical director and played the part of Don Messer in Memories of Don Messer’s Jubilee that toured extensively across Canada.
His latest effort, the Fiddle Legends tour, kicks off locally next weekend before stops in Quebec, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
The two local shows are Sept. 8 at Melville United Church in Fergus at 7pm and Sept. 9 at Duffs Presbyterian Church in Aberfoyle at 2pm.
Patrons are encouraged to get their tickets early, as many of the shows are expected to sell out well in advance of the concert dates.
Tickets are only $20 for adults, $10 for kids 12 and under, and kids 5 and under get in free. Advance tickets for all shows are available by calling toll free 1-855-726-8896. For more information on Scott Woods and the Fiddle Legends tour visit www.scottwoods.ca.
