Renowned Canadian Fiddle Champion Scott Woods and his band will present a new show called Fiddling in the key of … Eh? here next month.
The fast-paced show explores great Canadian fiddling styles and influences from Cape Breton and Scottish to Acadian and Irish to French Canadian and Metis. The show features plenty of old-time fiddling, championship step dancing, trick fiddling, family humour and other aspects of our culture that have become symbols of what truly makes us Canadian.
Woods is a two-time winner of the Canadian Open Fiddle Contest, two-time winner of the Canadian Grand Masters Fiddle Championship as well as Fiddle Entertainer of the Year.
He is known affectionately across Canada as The Flippin’ Fiddler and tours extensively across the country every year raising funds for churches, charities and community service organizations.
To date, over $2 million dollars have been raised for such groups through his shows.
The local show, in support of Project Eagles Nest (Emmanuel Christian High School building fund) is set for April 23 at 7pm at Maranatha Christian School, 8037, Wellington Road 19, Fergus.
