I am totally stoked for this weekend because I have the opportunity to be the opening act for The April Verch Band this Sunday night at Avogadro’s Number in Fort Collins, CO.

April Verch is one of the top Canadian Fiddlers, and she’s a heck of a stepdancer too. I am sure that you will enjoy her playing.

I am so excited to be opening for such a talented musician. I hope you all can come to see April Play (and me too).

If you are not familiar with April, you can check out her website, or watch the video below:

I’m not usually a fan of Devil’s Dream, but I can think of two people who play it pretty awesome.

The first is Jana Jae who plays Devil’s Dream so fast that fire flies from the strings. The second is the one I heard today – Jean Carignan.

This is a truly amazing version of Devil’s Dream, or as they call it in French Reve du Diable.
