Scott Woods is bringing his unique brand of storytelling, humour, and fiddlework back to Yorkton this month.
Woods, the celebrated fiddler, is returning to Yorkton on May 15 at St. Andrew鈥檚 United Church as part of his Fiddling Up a Storm tour.
The tour will go until August, covering all of the Canadian provinces. It鈥檚 a big tour, but Woods wants to bring his music to as many people as possible.
鈥淣ot many people play our type of old-style fiddle music,鈥� said Woods. 鈥淚t鈥檚 an underserviced market.鈥�
Woods combines his impressive fiddle-playing with humourous and touching stories.
鈥淲e try to build a theme and tie it all together,鈥� he said.
Woods will be accompanied by other players to build an energetic atmosphere of music.
鈥淲e鈥檝e got fast fingers on fiddles and guitars,鈥� he said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 like a hurricane.
鈥淲e have a lot of tunes that are fun.鈥�
One of Woods鈥� favourite moments in the show is a story-song about his grandfather鈥檚 experience with Hurricane Hazel in the 1950s.
鈥淚t鈥檚 kind of a Tommy Hunter moment,鈥� he said.
Woods is excited to see his Yorkton fans again, who he views as friends.
鈥淚t doesn鈥檛 feel like I鈥檓 thousands of miles from home,鈥� he said. 鈥淚t feels like I鈥檓 in my backyard.鈥�
