Multiple winner of titles at the Canadian Open and Canadian Grand Masters Fiddle Championships, Scott Woods and his band will carry on the tradition of old time music with a new two hour live show called Swingin' Fiddles, soon to be presented in Yorkton.
Scott Woods hails from Fergus Ontario and is affectionately known throughout Canada as 'The Flippin' Fiddler' - a nickname acquired by his knack for doing a front running somersault while playing the fiddle - and not missing a beat. Not surprisingly, Scott is also a Canadian Novelty Fiddle Champion.
For seven years, Woods was the musical director and played the part of Don Messer in a show called "Memories of Don Messer's Jubiliee," paying tribute to the late great icon. Scott now travels across the country continuing his own family tradition of old time fiddle music that was started by his father & The Merv Woods Orchestra back in 1950. Scott's mother, Carolyn, still plays piano and travels with the band today.
Swingin' Fiddles features the upbeat, danceable music of the 30's, 40's & 50's - western swing, pop standards, country, gospel and more pack the program. Three fiddlers playing in harmony, incredible step dancing, homespun family humour and of course his trick fiddling make this a fun-filled show for all ages to enjoy.
Swingin' Fiddles will take place Thursday, May 16 at 7 p.m. at the Royal Canadian Legion, 380 Broadway Street West in Yorkton. Tickets are $20 for adults, $10 for kids age 6-12 and kids five & under get in free. Advance tickets & information are available at the Legion or by calling toll free 1-855-SCOTTWOODS (1-855-726-8896).
