Fiddle time

The Scott Woods Show - Swingin' Fiddles is making its way across Canada and will be playing Thursday, May 16 at the Royal Canadian Legion in Yorkton at 7:00 pm. Multiple winner of the Canadian Open and Grand Masters Fiddle Contests, Woods and his band bring alive the music of the 30's, 40's and 50's in this two hour uplifting old time show.


Woods hails from Fergus, Ontario and is a sixth generation fiddler. He was the musical director and played the part of Don Messer in Memories of Don Messer's Jubilee that toured extensively throughout Canada for eight years. He now travels across the country continuing his own family tradition of old time music started by his father and The Merv Woods Orchestra back in 1950. Scott's mother Carolyn still plays the piano and travels with the band today.
Joining Scott on the road (May 3 to June 27) jwill be - Carolyn Woods, Wes Dymond, Emily Yarascavitch and Ben Norris.


Swingin' Fiddles features not one, not two but three fiddlers playing together in harmony. Western swing, big band, pop standards, country, gospel and plenty of old time fiddling pack the program.


Sensational step dancing, home spun family humor and of course Scott's famous trick fiddling that earned him the Canadian Novelty Fiddle Championship title and 'The Flippin' Fiddler' nickname make this a show you don't want to miss!
