Tim ‘n’ Vicki
Tim ‘n’ Vicki
We've been making music together as a couple since 1997. Tim plays the guitar, mandolin, banjo, fiddle, hammered dulcimer and concertina. Vicki plays whistles, recorders, and guitar. We both sing lead and harmony.
Our music ranges from Medieval and Renaissance dance tunes and traditional Celtic instrumentals through Old-Time American folk songs and bluegrass to contemporary covers and original compositions. (Yeah, we’ll play just about anything...) We've played Renaissance Faires, Revolutionary and Civil War events, Medieval Feasts, contra and English Country dances, weddings, funerals, receptions, and art openings. We have performed WWII sets, 1960‘s sets, and music for a genteel Irish teatime. In addition to our duo performances, you may have seen us performing with Cashel Rock or the Pomfret Revelers. Tim is currently performing with several bands: Grass Routes; Gail Wade and her band, Turning Point; TrueGrassCT; the CornFed Dogs; and The Cicadas. In the past, he has performed with Springwater, Shady Creek, and Les Joies des Quebec. Tim also sits in with several other bands as needed.
Along with a great group of instructors, we have organized and run the Kids' Academies at the Strawberry Park (2007-2010) and Podunk (2008-present) Bluegrass Festivals and regularly present educational programs tailored for any age group in schools, colleges, universities, and libraries.
