  Thursday 22 March 2012 8.00pm Booking No. 14 $32/$26 Brunswick Town Hall Doors Open: 7.15pm APRIL VERCH BAND April Verch, doesn't just perform music, she exudes it. The internationally renowned Canadian fiddler, singer, songwriter and step-dancer has a passion for performing and her goal is to touch the lives of those who are listening at any given moment. "The world is this amazing puzzle that we can't fully understand and music is the joy that pulls it all together and helps us make sense of it," says Verch, with a dynamic excitement and confidence that makes you believe her in a heartbeat. Dirk Powell, a multi-instrumentalist, who's worked with Jack White, Joan Baez, Riverdance and the film Cold Mountain, is awed by April's ability to play any kind of roots music as though it was her native tongue. "She's so fluent in the language of music that she never needs to imitate", Powell says. "She hears the heart of it and lets that become part of her core. April's just got that, man; she's always speaking the language for real. She is a rare mix of all the technique and super-flashy things, along with the deep soul and tradition that comes from having grown up with the music." > Find out more: Website | Facebook | YouTube KATE BURKE & RUTH HAZLETON After taking time away from the stage to hone their skills as new parents, Kate Burke & Ruth Hazleton return to the Brunswick Music Festival. 2012 will mark fourteen years since the duo first began performing their iconic interpretations of traditional songs from the UK, America and Australia.
