“Giving back to the community with the talents we were blessed with” is how Scott Woods describes his upcoming Fiddle Country tour. “Most of the shows on this tour help local charities, churches, food banks, service clubs and the like, plus, it is a great way for the general public to get out and support the local community.” The tour has stops in 31 towns in 4 provinces over 25 days, from mid-May to mid-June, 2026.
Woods is a multiple winner of the Canadian Open Fiddle Contest, the Canadian Grand Masters Fiddling Competition, and was named Canadian Fiddle Entertainer of the Year. In 2018, he was presented the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Canadian Grand Masters Fiddling Association.
Scott’s shows encompass the values of yesteryear with the technology of today using state-of-the-art sound and stage lighting with GoPro cameras and big-screen projection. A true variety show, not unlike Don Messer’s Jubilee, the Tommy Hunter Show or Hee Haw, the Scott Woods Band brings Canadian fiddle music, traditional country, gospel, step dancing and lots of family-friendly humour to the stage. Costumes and antics include Scott’s famous trick fiddling, where he walks on a barrel and does a running somersault all while playing his fiddle.
Joining Scott on his Fiddle Country 2026 tour is his sister, Kendra Woods Norris. She is also a champion fiddler. Kendra is known for doing her tribute to ‘Cousin Minnie Pearl.’ Kendra adds levity to the show while covering essential piano parts, accordion, fiddle as well as harmony and lead vocals.
Playing drums, fiddle, singing and step dancing is 21-year-old Leo Stock. Known as “Good Ole Spaghetti Legs,” Leo is a three-time winner of the Canadian Open Step Dancing Championship, and his feet go about a hundred miles-per-hour. Just watching Leo dance is worth the price of admission! And you can see it all on the big screen, no matter where you are seated!
The Telecaster Master – Steve Piticco will be playing electric and acoustic guitars. He is multiple winner of Guitar Player of the Year at the Canadian Country Music Association Awards, he has won Flat Picker of the Year from the Central Canadian Bluegrass Awards. Steve had his own television show in the Ottawa Valley for many years and is an inducted member of the Ottawa Valley Country Music Hall of Fame.
Fiddle Country is a toe-tapping, heartwarming celebration of Classic Country and Fiddle music! Featuring a diverse mix of Bluegrass, Western Swing, Canadian Old-Time Fiddling, and Country Gospel, this two-hour show delivers real music, real instruments, and nonstop family-friendly fun — all with a touch of Canadiana and plenty of humour. “You certainly don’t have to be a fiddle or country music fan to enjoy the show,” says Woods. “I try to build the show so there is always something different to see and hear and your emotions will vary from excited, happy and fun to serious, sentimental and even sad.”
Be sure to come and enjoy some Canada’s most-talented musicians playing real music on real instruments!
