April Verch brought her Fiddle, the balance of her trio, and the Ottawa Valley Stepdancing to the Turnage Theater, and most everybody had a high ole time. The Turnage Theater usually does a fine job of locating and bringing them to Washington, NC and Beaufort County. On this occasion, with the April Verch Trio, the Turnage Theater had some help from the Beaufort County Arts Council in association with the Beaufort County Traditional Music Association.

    On January 14, 2011, the culmination of their combined efforts brought Fiddler April Verch and the balance of her accompanying trio: Guitarist Clay Ross and Bassist Cody Walters, to the Turnage Theater. The Trio's two hour show, featured Bluegrass, Newgrass (progressive bluegrass), Traditional County, Celtic Folk and Ottawa Valley Stepdancing.
