“The Vendome”
Richard Wood
PEI fiddler Richard Wood is set to release his latest single, “The Vendome (Radio Edit),” on June 1 across all major streaming platforms. The release is distributed by Symphonic.
Known for his electrifying performances and deep roots in traditional music, Richard Wood delivers a tight, polished version of this crowd-favourite in his new release, which is included in its entirety on Richard Wood Live! 2 An Evening of Celtic Music. This radio-friendly cut highlights the raw spirit of East Coast fiddle, balanced by sophisticated musicianship and infectious rhythm.
Recorded live by Jesse Périard at Housefront, the track features Wood (fiddle), Kimberley Holmes (keyboard), and Brent Chaisson (guitar/percussion). Chaisson also mixed and mastered the song at Studio Dimanche. The single’s artwork is by Faye WilliamsWood.
“‘The Vendome (Radio Edit)’ combines traditional roots with meticulous precision and lets us share it in a fresh, punchy way that still keeps the spirit of the original intact,” says Wood.
