On Friday, March 26th at 8pm, the Trumansburg Conservatory of Fine Arts is proud to present a free live-streamed concert featuring fiddler Vi Wickam. From bluegrass and jazz to rock & roll and old-time fiddle, Vi exudes energy, passion, humor, and musical mastery in every performance. In this special St. Patrick’s performance, he and accompanist Franklin Taggart will present a Celtic themed show for the Conservatory.

Vi Wickam is a 4-time Colorado State Fiddling Champion, a finalist at the Grand Masters’ Fiddler Championship, and Runner Up in the National Fiddle Contest. He is also a voting member of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, (the Grammy people.)

With a performing career beginning with his family, Vi performed regularly with his brothers, father, and grandfather as The Wickam Family Band. Recently, in 2018, Vi had 2 albums chart in the top 5 of Folk DJ Radio. 

Vi also performs with many projects, including as the cleverly named Vi Wickam and The Band, with cellist Dan Delaney as Fritto Misto, and with dulcimer player Steve Eulberg as duo Fiddle Whamdiddle. He also regularly sits in as a guest musician for local bands.

Vi will be joined by Franklin Taggart, a singer/songwriter/guitarist living in Loveland, Colorado. Franklin has played music all over the country from peoples’ homes to the Kennedy Center. He writes songs, and performs frequently in Northern Colorado and Southern Wyoming.
