Searson brings high-energy fiddling, vocals, step dancing to 6OTS

OXFORD – On Friday, March 9, at 7:30 pm, 6 On The Square is pleased to welcome Canadian band Searson, hailing from the Ottawa Valley, Ontario. Touring for well over a decade, sisters Erin and Colleen Searson have developed their own original style of high energy fiddling, passionate vocals, and step dancing. A love of incorporating the Ottawa Valley style music with Celtic, East Coast, Scottish, and various other styles can be heard throughout the live show.

Growing up in the Ottawa Valley, Ontario, Canada these sisters began to study music at a very young age, performing locally and competing at Step Dance & Fiddle Contests. Since the age of 4, Erin has been classically trained through the Royal Conservatory of music in piano. Colleen has been studying violin and fiddle methods from all styles around the world since age 9, while both began step dance lessons before the age of 9. This prepared the sisters to grow and expand as they became accomplished performers and musicians and increasingly began to tour across borders and overseas.

The sisters perform on a variety of instruments throughout their live show. This includes Colleen on fiddle, vocals, and Ottawa Valley Step Dancing while Erin performs on piano, vocals, Ottawa Valley Step Dancing, and tenor guitar. Rounding out the live show is bass/guitar player Fraser Gauthier, who has studied at Humber College and Capilano University, gradually gravitating towards roots music. Dave MacDougall is a drummer and percussionist who brings creativity and groove to a variety of styles of music.

“The most satisfying part of performing live is seeing our fans singing along to songs that we’ve written and requesting fiddle tunes that we wrote.” Erin says, “There’s nothing better than seeing the audience emotionally involved in your live show.”

Tickets for this show are $20 pre-show or $25 at the door and available at our website www.6onthesquare.org. Our doors open 1 hour before the start of the performance.

Upcoming shows: The Young Novelists on Saturday, March 24; North Sea Gas on Saturday, April 14; and The Eric Andersen Band on Friday, April 20.

6 On The Square, Inc. is a not for profit, volunteer-based community music and arts venue located at 6 Lafayette Park in downtown Oxford.
