Fiddle-icious is a nonprofit, all-volunteer community organization, with members from the greater Portland area and beyond. Director Don Roy is a Gorham resident, and is a cultural treasure who brings Franco-American music alive for music lovers across the Northeast United States and Canada.

Cindy Roy, Don’s wife, will provide piano accompaniment. Both Roys grew up in French-Canadian families where music was an integral part of their lives. It is the Roys’ desire to share their knowledge with others, and foster community through music is a testimony to their commitment to keep their musical heritage alive.
