Newberry & Verch Folk & Bluegrass Christmas Livestream

Newberry & Verch Folk & Bluegrass Christmas Livestream

True North Music is back for a special seasonal livestreamed concert! Join us and fabulous folk-roots duo Newberry & Verch for a lovely evening of Christmassy songs, lively fiddle and banjo duets, step dancing and storytelling. Save the date (Mon 20th December!) and settle down in front of the Christmas tree with a mince pie or a cheeky dram - Newberry and Verch are coming to town, direct to a screen near you!

Joe Newberry (USA) and April Verch (Canada) are both master musicians, performing a highly entertaining blend of folk, bluegrass and old time Americana, with ballads, joyful fiddle tunes and poignant original and traditional songs. This year they’re reviving their popular Holiday Cheer tour in America and will be adding a special extra performance which, thanks to the wonders of technology, will be livestreamed direct from the USA at a time to suit their UK fans. This sensational folk and bluegrass duo played a sold-out show for us in Meltham back in February 2020, just before the pandemic shut down live music.

Joe Newberry is a renowned North Carolina-based banjoist, singer, guitarist and award-winning songwriter, a charismatic performer who charms audiences wherever he goes. Joe was a guest star on the Transatlantic Sessions live tour and he performs and records with several projects including a duo with mandolin legend Mike Compton, and of course as one half of Newberry & Verch. April Verch is a world class fiddle player, step dancer and singer from Canada’s Ottawa Valley. April has countless awards, fourteen albums and over twenty years of worldwide touring under her belt. True North Music has been proud to book two Newberry & Verch UK tours in the past few years, and we’ve hosted a couple of sensational Yorkshire concerts by them too. We're delighted to have been asked to host this special livestreamed gig!
