About: Joe Newberry and April Verch join forces to celebrate the traditions they grew up with—his rooted in the Missouri Ozarks, hers in Canada’s Ottawa Valley. Together, they blend soulful harmonies, masterful musicianship, and heartfelt storytelling into performances that feel both timeless and refreshingly original.

Armed with fiddle, banjo, voice, and step dance, Newberry & Verch bring to life the joy and intimacy of old-time and traditional folk music. Both are award-winning musicians—Newberry for his songwriting and banjo mastery, Verch for her championship fiddling and step-dancing—and their shows feature original songs alongside beloved classics, with moments of foot-stomping energy and tender reflection in equal measure.

Touring across North America and abroad, these two share a rare musical chemistry that shines in every note and step. When their voices intertwine and their feet find the same rhythm, Newberry & Verch remind audiences why this music has endured for generations.
