Ivan and Vivian Hicks are distinguished for their contribution to preserve and promote old-time fiddling throughout North America. Their music has roots steeped in tradition but their approach to getting it into the hearts and minds of people is modern and innovative.
Ivan Hicks, a member of the North American Fiddlers Hall of Fame, has been playing old-time music for 70 years, is an accomplished composer, recording artist, performer and mentor and lively ambassador for Atlantic Canada's heritage.
Throughout the years he has been a member of various bands including the Marshwinds dance band (1969-1990) and Maritime Express, an old-time and bluegrass band (1979-2005). In the late 1970s he formed the community fiddle group Sussex Avenue Fiddlers of which he is director.
Ivan and Vivian have won many honours and accolades throughout the years, including both being inducted into the New Brunswick Country Music Hall of Fame.

Ivan and Vivian Hicks Painting by Norman Jackson
At the 40th Anniversary Gala of the New Brunswick Country Music Hall of Fame (Oct 14 2023 - Fredericton Inn) we were presented with an absolutely stunning painting by artist Norman F Jackson. Norman had previously painted a portrait of Gerry Taylor for the Hall of Fame. For this presentation were were shocked. Ivan was unable to speak for a moment as you see Vivian speaks first. This was a project Gary Morris took on. Only he and three others knew about this. Thank you Norman for this beautiful portrait.
