Renowned Canadian fiddler Scott Woods and his band will deliver an authentic live tribute to Don Messer’s Jubilee – one of the most popular TV shows in Canadian history.
Scott Woods’ Old Time Jubilee reunites Cape Breton tenor Tommy Leadbeater, as Charlie Chamberlain, with Canadian grand-master fiddle champion Woods as Don Messer.
The show also features the velvet vocals of Lynda Lewis as Marg Osborne in a two-hour masterful performance honoring the days when Don Messer and his Islanders ruled Canadian airwaves.
The fast-paced, uplifting show is great for audiences of all ages with old-time fiddle music, sensational step dancing, trick fiddling, family humor and more.
Also joining Woods onstage will be East Coast Music Association award-winner Bruce Timmins on guitar and bass. Canadian Open Step Dance Champion Kyle Waymouth will take over drums, along with adding fiddle and his amazing step dancing.
Woods is a multiple Canadian Open and Canadian Grand Master Fiddle Champion.
He is known affectionately throughout Canada as ‘The Flippin’ Fiddler’ – a nickname earned as a result of a running somersault he does while playing his fiddle without missing a beat.
The Scott Woods Band travels across Canada each year performing up to 150 concerts, almost all of which help to support churches, charities and other community groups.
Woods’ concert in Salmon Arm takes place at 7 p.m. Tuesday, June 10 at the SASCU Recreation Centre.
Tickets are $25 for adults, $10 for kids ages 6 to 12. Children five years of age and under are admitted free of charge.
