For more than three decades, award-winning Canadian fiddler Richard Wood has blown away audiences around the globe with his traditional-born, fiery brand of Celtic music. This Prince Edward Island native is bringing his talents to the Rialto Theatre on Main Street in Lancaster on Monday, March 27, at 7 p.m. Appearing with fiddler Wood will be multi-instrumentalist Keelin Wedge, who is also a Prince Edward Island recording artist. The show is presented by the Great North Woods Center for the Arts of Columbia, which has hosted Wood several times over the years.
Wood’s Canadian Folk Music Award-nominated and ECMA award-winning eighth album, “Unbroken,” which was mastered by legendary, multi-Grammy Award winning Bob Ludwig from Gateway Studios, has reviewers praising it as some of his best work to date.
Along with winning countless championships as both a step dancer and fiddler, Richard has also earned the Don Messer Memorial Trophy--twice.
Wood has toured the world extensively with highlights including Epcot at Disney World, The Lincoln Center, and Carnegie Hall. He has also performed for special televised events and programs such as “Good Morning America,” “The David Letterman Show,” “Rita and Friends,” and for a special Canada Day telecast on Parliament Hill which was aired by CBC in front of a live audience of over 100,000. He has shared stages and tour buses with heavyweights like The Chieftains and Shania Twain, and he’s played for prime ministers, governor generals, the Queen, and the Emperor of Japan, but he says he is most proud to have entertained Canada’s Armed Forces in the North Pole, Bosnia, and twice in Afghanistan.
One of PEI’s best exports and always the proud island ambassador, Wood has brought his highly sought-after, energetic brand of music around the world, touring extensively in Australia, Europe, Asia, and all across North America.
Keelin Wedge began performing at age five. She is a prominent member of Fiddlers Sons & Lennie Gallant’s band. Keelin has three albums and is currently working on her first vocal album of original songs and tunes.
Tickets for this energetic show are $20 per person and available online at gnwca.org, or at the door on the night of the concert. For more information on this and other GNWCA shows, call 603-246-8998.
