Description
Renowned Ottawa Valley fiddler, singer, songwriter, and step dancer April Verch and her Kansas-born husband-roots multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Cody Walters-create new musical tributaries within Verch's award-winning and critically acclaimed body of work with their debut duo album, 'Passages and Partings'. Working on a foundation of old-time tunes culled from a variety of sources, the album includes a number of new Verch originals (standouts being "John and Carol's Waltz" and "Firewood"), re-spun classic country songs (Hank William's "Mansion on the Hill", for one), and century-old tunes such as "Horse and Buggy-O" from the book of mountain music pioneer Art Stamper. 'Passages and Partings' was created during a time when collaboration and interaction were altered and supposedly stifled. But perseverance, patience, and inspiration win out, as these two musicians continue to blaze their own path, creating a remarkable musical adventure.
