April Verch, Take Me Back – dual release dates set

Take Me Back, the new CD release from canadian singer/fiddler April Verch is slated for a dual track release this month and next. It will be released in Canada on January 17, and then in the United States on February 14.

The 27 year old Verch has been known in her native Ontario for some time, starting out as a youngster, winning both dance and fiddle competitions and releasing a pair of self-produced CDs before graduating from high school. She spent a year as a student at the Berklee College Of Music in Boston, but left after only a year to pursue performing full time. She signed with Rounder Records in 2000, and has two prior releases with them, Verchuosity and From Where I Stand.

No audio up yet on either the Rounder or Verch web sites for Take Me Back, but that is likely to change as the release dates draw nearer.
