Legendary Bluegrass Fiddler Bobby Hicks

Fiddler Bobby Hicks waits in the wings before playing with the Blue Ridge Orchestra, University of North Carolina at Asheville. March 11, 2007.

 

Bobby Hicks began a long and successful career as a Bluegrass musician with Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys, 1954. He later played with other Bluegrass artists such as Ricky Scaggs, Jesse McReynolds, Earl Scruggs and J. D. Crowe. He has many popular recordings to his credit (Blue Ridge National Heritage Area).

 

A note to flickr friends: this low-light image was taken nine years ago with my D50. Although very noisy, I like the pensive nature of the performer captured minutes before appearing on stage.
