A storm鈥檚 a-comin鈥� to Neepawa that鈥檒l have you tapping your toes and clapping your hands, as Scott Woods and his all-star band will perform at the Roxy Theatre on Sunday, May 13.
The show features a mix of old-time fiddle music with some lively performances, including Woods renowned trick fiddling, which sees him perform somersaults and walks on a barrel while playing his fiddle. That energetic effort has earned him the nickname 鈥渢he Flippin鈥� Fiddler鈥�.
In an interview earlier this week with the Neepawa Banner & Press, Woods noted that the entire show is an uptempo 鈥淏ranson style鈥� of spectacle.
鈥淔or anyone who鈥檚 not familiar with [Branson style], it鈥檚 a real energetic, fun and family-friendly show that has developed out of Branson, Missouri,鈥� stated Woods.
While Woods鈥� fiddle music may seem to be geared primarily towards an older audience, he said that the live performances have a broad appeal that attracts the entire family.
鈥淔iddle music is happy music. It has a great energy that gets everyone moving. Our style also branches out into other musical styles, including Irish and Scottish traditions. There is a great mix of styles, as well as humour that makes the entire show the type of thing that everyone can enjoy.鈥�
Performing along with Woods will be his sister Kendra Norris, an award-winning multi-instrumentalist. Other band members include guitarist Steve Piticco, bassist Peter Sisk, drummer Bill Carruthers and champion step dancer, 13-year-old Leo Stack.
The Fiddling up a Storm tour will be in Neepawa on Sunday, May 13 at the Roxy Theatre. The start time is set for 2:00 p.m.
