About the Arrogant Worms
The Arrogant Worms find their roots in folk and acoustic rock, though they
borrow from Celtic, country, reggae, bluegrass, surf music, and even gospel.
Their easy-going attitude, simple technical requirements, charm and good
looks, not to mention diverse musical styles, promise an enjoyable show that
always delivers. Their live performances have a reputation for high energy,
a playful atmosphere, and unusual audience participation. This is clever,
clean comedy for all ages.

After forming a group in 1991, the Arrogant Worms have recorded nine
independent albums, consistently topping the sales charts for their
distributors and have sold over 150,000 albums to date.  The Arrogant Worms
released a DVD of their concert with the renowned Edmonton Symphony
Orchestra, also a national television special. 

And it is their show that keeps the people coming back for more. The
Arrogant Worms have provided tuneful and silly escapism all over North
America, the United Kingdom and Australia in venues of all shapes and sizes
- from small clubs to theatres to arenas to Disney to Central Park to The
Grand Canyon.

The Arrogant Worms have become part of Canadiana. Their songs are used in
lesson plans across the country and one has even made it into an English
textbook. Their song "Dangerous" was played aboard the Space Shuttle
Endeavour for astronaut and fan Chris Hadfield. 

The Arrogant Worms were recognized in 2003 as the Touring Act of the Year by
the Canadian Arts Presenters Association. However, their biggest honour came
in 2005 though when they read in the New York Times that Carrie Fisher and
Meg Ryan were singing along with a Worms cassette tape on a driving trip in
Newfoundland. Princess Leia!! And Sally!! 

The Arrogant Worms have shamelessly decided that the world needs The
Arrogant Worms. And so they will continue to travel the world extolling the
virtues of the noble cow, taking Celine Dion down a notch and singing
twisted lullabies to children.

About Our Special Guests - The Second Fiddles
This season, the Hurdy Gurdy has invited a number of special guests to open
our shows.   We could not be happier to have the  Second Fiddles  appear at
our first show this season.

The Second Fiddles are the vanguard of a old-time music renaissance that is
taking hold in and around NYC.  Formed in 2005, The Second Fiddles are a New
York based trio in the tradition of the great stringbands that performed at
the turn of the century. The artists that traveled with the medicine shows
were adept at all genre's of American roots music. The Fiddles pull from the
song books of Country, Blues, Bluegrass, Gospel and Swing bands of the 20's,
30's and 40's.  Their bi-monthly revue of local and national acts THE ROOTS
AND BLUES ROUNDUP has gained notoriety and been listed in The Daily News as
one of New York's TOP FIVE Coolest Concerts. Come and experience the best in
Americana and Early Roots Music.
