Fiddle-icious at Freeport Performing Arts Center – Freeport, ME

Don’t miss this upcoming 2024 Local Event in Freeport, ME. Happening on Sunday, October 20, 2024 at Freeport Performing Arts Center. Doors open at 2:00 PM.

Maine’s largest fiddle orchestra with special guests, T-Acadie.

About the Artists: Fiddle-icious is comprised of a diverse group of enthusiastic fiddlers and other musicians of all ages and all walks of life. The group’s music features tunes passed on from our Scottish, Irish, Quebecois, and Acadian ancestors. The primary goal of Fiddle-icious is to keep the tradition alive by sharing Maine’s musical heritage with the community.

Fiddle-icious evolved out of a monthly fiddle workshop led by Don Roy, a phenomenal fiddler who is hailed as a “living cultural treasure” here in Maine. Both Don and his wife Cindy grew up in French Canadian families where music was an integral part of their lives. They are steeped in the traditions that have been passed down from one generation to the next. Their desire to share and foster community through music is a testimony to their commitment to keeping the heritage alive.

T-Acadie (TEE-ah-kah-DEE) is a dance band and folk trio from Maine, part of the region including the Canadian maritime provinces known as Acadia (“T-Acadie” is Cajun slang for “a little Acadia”). They play a variety of music including traditional French Canadian and New England dance tunes; Cajun waltzes, two steps, Cajun blues and Zydeco tunes; old time southern tunes and songs often sung a capella in 3 part harmony; original tunes written by band “tunesmith”, Pam Weeks, which range from sizzling reels and jigs to mesmerizing aires and sweet waltzes.

Sunday, October 20, 2024 @ 2:00 PM. 15 min. intermission. Doors open at 1:30 PM. General admission is $20. Student tickets are $15.
