Ray Legere (born September 20, 1965) is a Canadian bluegrass fiddler, mandolinist, guitarist and band leader from Sackville, New Brunswick.
His focus at this time was old-time fiddle tunes, later learning some Louvin Brothers’ songs with older friends and listening to American bluegrass pickers.
[1][2][3][4] In the summer of 1982, when he was sixteen, Legere was called unexpectedly to fill in for Bill Monroe of the Blue Grass Boys when the famous mandolinist became ill before a concert in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia.
Legere saw this as a unique opportunity to play with fiddle player Kenny Baker and with the Blue Grass Boys.
[17] Leger performed with the band Grasstic Measures on the 2016 festival circuit; that year he was also inducted into the New Brunswick Country Hall of Fame.
