Co-founded in 1985 by Sackville musicians Stephen Melanson and Timmy Hicks, the Ray Oliver Band toured the Maritimes extensively in the late 80’s and early 90’s. Their traditional music background blended perfectly with their fondness for southern-rock music to produce an honest and driving sound that is still enjoyed by audiences to this day. Their present lineup consists of Tim Hicks and Murray Sears on guitars, Rob Fife on Vocals, Kevin Chapman on drums and Steve Melanson on Bass guitar
