It’s been over 20 years since Daniel Lapp released an album of his own fiddle playing. Of course he hasn’t been sitting idle and quite the opposite. Since his last fiddle album, Reunion, released in 2002, he’s taught the fiddle to hundreds of students, toured and recorded with his electronic band, Lappelectro, as well as playing live shows with Rickie Lee Jones, Gord Downie, Elvis Costello and Lou Reed to name a few. He’s been around and off the continent many times and has helped develop an innovative program for Contemporary Music at the Victoria Conservatory of Music of which he’s the Artistic Director. His annual Home For Christmas Concert which features his 180 students has grown to two full houses in the Royal Theatre and will celebrate 23 years this December. No, he hasn’t been sitting around. During this time he’s also composed hundreds of fiddle tunes, collected 3000 original BC Tunes from 300 composers and started a new record label called Woodbox Records to promote, preserve and archive BC’s 150 year history of fiddle music. Now it’s time for him to play his tunes for you and he’s thrilled to share the new album onstage with one of his former students, Quinn Bachand, a world traveller in his own right. And he just turned 60! And UVic is giving him an Honorary Doctorate in Music. Come celebrate a new era of Daniel Lapp! No, he’s not slowing down.
