Tony Hickman and Harbourtown

 

"HARBOURTOWN" Originally known as Harbourtown Grass
was formed in 1974 by Tony Hickman and
has grown into one of the finest bands heard anywhere.

Tony, and wife Janet, live in Vermilion, Ohio, located west of Cleveland on Lake Erie's shore. Vermilion is a harbor for boaters and vacationers, so eventually the town's nickname "Harbourtown" emerged, thus the origin of the band's name, derived from the originator of our band.

Tony is a transplanted Tennessee mountain boy and has retained his fine heritage. He has never lost sight of where his music came from or the direction it is going. In the true bluegrass tradition, Harbourtown uses all acoustical instruments. The band members draw from the old standard songs, adopt the best of current music, and add their own original material. When they put a show together, it seems like they can reach into your heart and convey in words and music just what you fell inside, but can't quite express yourself. They upgrade their program regularly, adding different material to maintain freshness, but also filling requests for old favorites.

Even with their numerous supporters, the band members have never become complacent so that they neglect their practice sessions, or smug so that they ignore what the audience likes. Harbourtown is definitely not a rubber stamp band. They have created and fine tuned their own particular sound. They are known for excellent talent, neatly dressed appearance, honestly and fairness, and being family oriented. They have a wonderful sense of humor, that occasionally spills over into surprises to delight their audience.

They're booking in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, and Canada, with return engagements offered, are testimony to the caliber of this outstanding band.
