The Lumber Jills

The Lumber Jills are New Brunswick’s (Canada) ambassadors for the province’s signature old time fiddle and step dance tradition.

With contemporary arrangements, but one foot each firmly on a heritage barnboard floor, the group has toured 4 continents and produced 12 cast members since 2014.

Sackville, New Brunswick has a strong 'Old Time' fiddle tradition, cemented in part by the legendary fiddler Curtis Hicks. Born in the farming community of nearby Midgic in 1915; he was five years old when his parents took him to a house dance and he heard a fiddle for the first time. Today Stacey is founder of The New Brunswick Old Time Fiddle Co.; home of The Lumber Jills, who are based in the fiddling town of Sackville over 100 years later. These tradition bearers have committed themselves to preserving the heart of fiddle music from their home and all the traditions that go with it.
