Vi Wickam is an exceptional and versatile musician. He is a rare musician who is equally at home in a tuxedo playing for an elite soiree or in blue jeans playing in a bluegrass jam. Last summer I contracted Vi Wickam to perform for 200 guests at the Opera Fort Collins "Songs in Summer" garden party at the Hixon home. As a strolling violinist he played everything from classical violin melodies to old time and Celtic fiddle tunes. Vi is also the founder and first violinist with the Fort Collins String Quartet. His traditional music includes guest appearance with bluegrass and old time music bands and recordings. He is also releasing a much anticipated solo CD this Spring! I highly recommend Vi The Fiddler for any event. He is reliable, courteous, and professional. Quality matters!

Question and answer
Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A. Do you play special requests?
As a string quartet, we play special requests provided that we have at least 3 weeks notice, and are able to find a string quartet arrangement of the song requested.
As a strolling violinist, I am able to play a wide variety of requests from memory. If I have heard it a couple of times, I can probably play it. Feel free to challenge me.
