Sergey Novikov

Sergey Novikov,
Fiddle, clarinet, vocals,
keyboard

He is the youngest of the musicians of the band (1/30/78). Sergey, or
violinist, looks very much alike the famous Russian poet with the same name,
Sergey Yesenin. He comes out of a musical family and has been playing violin
since early years.  Sergey made his first appearance on the stage at age of
5. Then he performed with his parents in the folk group “Live water”. He
joined the Countrybandists in 1997 and turned out to be just on his place,
as if he belonged there. Sergey is very artistic and musical, expressive and
forceful. While playing he cannot help dancing. His fiddle gives a lead and
adds a very special feature of bluegrass sounding.
