For over three decades this prize-winning fiddler from Prince Edward Island has blown away audiences around the world. Richard Wood has shared stages with The Chieftains and Shania Twain and played Lincoln Center, Carnegie Hall, Epcot, on Good Morning America and The David Letterman Show. Now he comes to Granby, Conn.
“Picture it. A graceful tune to start off the set, with beautiful zippering lines, played while caressing the fiddle to his ear, eyes closed, of in a serene realm in a dance with time, as he lures us there with him. Then a cutting strathspey to kick it into a higher gear as he whoops out loud and smiles at the crowd… Wood simply dropped every single jaw in the house.” This is what Todd Maclean of Canada’s Charlottown Guardian wrote after a Richard Wood show.
Come hear Richard’s tradition-born, fiery brand of Celtic fiddle music on Saturday March 25, at Granby Congregational Church South Campus Fellowship Hall, 242 Salmon Brook St., Granby.
