Fiddle? Fabulous!...meet Scott...

...Scott Woods!


My angel came through again. This time she treated me to a concert. Tracy, one of the angels where I do rehab so I can walk, took me to a Scott Woods concert. He is a fiddle CHAMPION who travels extensively raising money for charities and churches across the country. The concert was full of surprises and diversity with music ranging from country to waltzes, celtic to classical with a few tricks (he did a somersault while playing!) and jokes that kept us laughing. And one of the biggest surprises??? The backup band....his mom, sister and brother! The family that plays together stays together!

My favorite moment was when Scott, his sister(who is classically trained, plays bass and accordion) and his brother (who also played drums and percussion) ALL played fiddle in harmony while mom accompanied on keyboard. Way to make a mom proud! By the way, mom also does missionary work in Haiti. This is an awesome family.

They have 150 concert dates this year!! Chances are they are coming to a city near YOU! They just came back from Florida. Not so coincidentally the title of this tour is ROAD TRIP. And you can see and hear it in the songs with titles that include: Texas, Arkansas, Scotland, Nova Scotia, and places near and far.

This ministry began many years ago by their father who started singing for charity at the age of 11. They lost dad 4 years ago but remembered him musically with a special tribute, playing one of his favorites: When I Survey The Wondrous Cross.

They live here in Ontario in the small town of Fergus. But their show and their ministry is anything but small. So if you get the chance...GO SEE SCOTT WOODS.
And think about booking him for your church fundraiser!
