Nicky Bag (fiddle, vocals)
Nicky Sanders (a.k.a. Hicky Bag) picked up his first fiddle at age 5. Originally from
California, he studied classical music at the San Francisco Conservatory of
Music. In Berkeley, CA, Nicky served as concertmaster of the Young People’s
Symphony Orchestra. Later, he led the String Orchestra at Berklee College
of Music in Boston, from which he recently earned a BA in Violin
Performance. In 1999, he toured the eastern United States with Boston-based
‘klezmerdelic’ jam band, Hypnotic Clambake. Nicky bears a reddish mark
under his chin from playing violin that he affectionately calls his “fiddle
hickey”. And when he’s not pickin’ with the Bagboys, you’ll catch him
drinking fresh-squeezed orange juice and impersonating Bob Dylan.
