April Verch, a champion fiddler and performer from Canada’s Ottawa Valley, returns to perform at Orcas Center on Saturday, Feb. 12 at 7:30 p.m.

Verch is a powerhouse of a fiddler, a dynamic stepdancer and singer, and an irresistible performer. Her shows feature a diverse set of numbers that vary from traditional tunes of her native Ottawa Valley to foot-stomping reels and moments where she dances and fiddles at the same time.

Verch keeps a rigorous touring schedule with her band members Clay Ross on guitar and Cody Walters on upright-electric bass and banjo. She has performed to sold-out houses at Orcas Center twice before, in 2006 and 2008. An active recording artist, Verch just released her seventh album entitled “Steal the Blue.”

Tickets are $25, $17 for Orcas Center members and $11 for students. Tickets may also be purchased on the website or by calling or visiting the Orcas Center box office during box office hours which are Thursday, Friday and Saturday from noon to 4 p.m. For more information about Orcas Center 2011 season events, visit orcascenter.org.
