Fiddler, singer, and stepdancer April Verch knows how relevant an old
tune can be. She was raised surrounded by living, breathing roots
music—her father’s country band rehearsing; the lively music at
church and at community dances; the tunes she rocked out to win fiddle
competitions. She thought every little girl learned to stepdance at
the age of three and fiddle at the age of six. She knew nothing else
and decided early on that she wanted to be a professional musician.
She took that leap, and for over two decades has been recording and
captivating audiences worldwide, exploring new and nuanced places each
step of the way. On April 12, 2019, Verch released her twelfth
recording, Once A Day , via Slab Town Records. A followup to her 2017
career-spanning release The April Verch Anthology , this new album is
a heartfelt homage to 1950s and 60s classic country. Recorded in
Nashville by Bil VornDick and produced by Doug Cox, Once A Day
features the talents of country veterans including steel guitarist Al
Perkins (Dolly Parton, Emmylou Harris), guitarist Redd Volkaert (Merle
Haggard) and fiddler Kenny Sears (Mel Tillis, Grand Ole Opry). From
the title track, a hit debut single for Connie Smith, to Loretta
Lynn’s “You Ain’t Woman Enough,” and Webb Pierce’s
“You’re Not Mine Anymore,” the album is a dynamic crash course
in one of Country Music’s most influential time periods. Her
admiration for these musicians and this iconic era is evident from
start to finish. Void of contemporary gimmicks and over-‐production,
Verch revels in the history and lets the music speak for itself. VISIT
APRIL VERCH’S WEBSITE April Verch performing several songs courtesy

is a Twin Cities-based trio that pays homage to Harry Smith's
Anthology of American Folk Music. First compiled and released in 1952
by Folkways Records, the Anthology offers a glimpse into the world of
vernacular American music recorded in the 1920s on rare 78 rpm
records. Reissued in 1996, the music runs the gamut of musical styles
and includes early blues and jug bands, old-time country, cowboy
songs, Cajun tunes, fiddle breakdowns, and a wide range of sacred
music. Corpse Reviver (who takes their name from a mid 19th century
"hair of the dog" cocktail from New Orleans) strive to put their own
stamp on the music while maintaining respect for the older styles.
Mikkel Beckmen (washboard, wooden tray, and stomp box) has been a
fixture on the Twin Cities scene for a number of years; some of the
folks he's played with include the Brass Kings, Charlie Parr, and
Lonesome Dan Kase & the Crush Collision Trio. Jillian Rae (fiddle,
vocals) grew up on the Iron Range and started playing violin at an
early age. She helps run a music school (known as the Music Lab) and
plays with a number of local groups. Adam Kiesling (guitar, banjo, and
vocals) got his start playing old-time and jug band music in the late
90s, played for local clogging group and old time trio the Mill City
Grinders, then spent four years as an upright bass player for Pert
Near Sandstone. Visit Corpse Reviver’s Facebook Page Corpse Reviver
