The Williams Lake Old Time Fiddlers will host Kelli Trottier and Greg Simm in concert at the Seniors’ Activity Centre on March 20.
The concert start time is 7 p.m.
“This is an opportunity not to be missed,” says Hal Giles, who plays with the Old Time Fiddlers.
Trottier blends traditional Celtic, contemporary country, folk, bluegrass and western swing with her inspired fiddle and vocal arrangements.
Giles says she is an unforgettable and enchanting artist who consistently delivers performances that raise her stature in the hearts and memories of audiences everywhere with her singing, dancing and playing.
She has performed for Canadian soldiers in the Middle East and for the Inuit of the Canadian Arctic and has six independent recordings to her credit.
Trottier spent nine years touring North America with the very successful Bowfire entourage, often described as “the finest line-up of fiddle and violin virtuosi ever assembled on one stage.”
Greg Simm has been a mainstay on the Nova Scotia music scene for more than 30 years. He has performed with artists as diverse as Denny Doherty, Lennie Gallant, Natalie MacMaster and Old Man Ludecke and has appeared on more than 30 CDs as a musician, engineer and producer.
He has performed regularly with fiddler Gordon Stobbe for more than 20 years and recently has been a member of the Stobbe, Trottier, Simm trio featuring Kelli Trottier.
Simm is also a guitar instructor teaching in Nova Scotia, Ontario, Manitoba and Nunavut as well as serving as associate artist at Ship’s Company Theatre in Parrsboro, Nova Scotia.
Tickets are $20 and available Sight & Sound, The Guitar Seller and from Old Time Fiddler members. Giles can be reached at hal.giles@shaw.ca or by phone at 250-392-7482.
