Friday night at the festival alongside Nelson Little, come down and enjoy the music of Hicktown.
Hicktown was formed in January 2013 and has gained great popularity due to their talented act. Singers Brent Earle and Janice Beernaerts are two former Bud Country Talent Search finalists from back in the early nineties. Janice received 2nd place in Canada and Brent made the top 10 (Brent had only been singing for 2 years prior). Sylvie Dion, a student prodigy of Mark Morriseau, shows her fiddle talents as well as her singing talents winning a Country Idol singing contest in 2012 in Winnipeg. The rest of the band backs them up as the group plays top 40 country hits for a dancing crowd. Hicktown has played at Houston’s, The 40, South Beach Casino, Thresherman’s Reunion, Rockfest and many rural venues. A full sounding six piece country band is what you get with drums, piano, bass, fiddle, guitars vocal harmonies.
