Soul Influence

Soul Influence is an a Capella ensemble, African in its choice of rhythm and beat, Afro-jazz in its musical style. When THEOP heard this group perform amongst 40+ showcases, we chose them as our first choice for a booking—it’s taken us three years to make it happen, but finally you too can experience their marvelous harmonies and gorgeous voice blends.

THEOP is partnering with the local Grannies for this event with a share of the proceeds going to the Stephen Lewis Foundation.

April Verch

This internationally renowned Canadian fiddler, singer, songwriter and stepdancer has a passion for performing and her goal is to touch the lives of those who are listening at any given moment. She became the first woman in history to win both of Canada’s most prestigious fiddle championships, the Grand Masters and Canadian Open and she was asked to represent her country’s music at the opening ceremonies of the 2010 Winter Olympics. Ottawa Valley music is a foot-stomping, open-minded fusion of Irish, Scottish, French, German, and Polish influences, sprinkled with tangy spices of American country music and April delivers all of that with style and panache.
