Hedgehoppers with Still on the Hill

Description

Get ready for a heartwarming tradition that’s been going strong for over 70 years – the Hedgehoppers! This class of third graders from Eureka Springs performs a traditional Ozark dance and song, preserving a form of Ozark square dancing that’s been around since 1947.

Along with Eureka’s longest tradition, Still on the Hill will be performing at The Auditorium. Still on the Hill is a national and international touring group from Arkansas that has been described as “Ambassadors of the Ozarks” for the work they do to preserve a rich culture that is quickly disappearing.

Kelly & Donna of Still on the Hill are award-winning ‘storytelling-song writers’. Different than most singer-songwriters, this dynamic duo embellishes their songs with a host of unique instruments from the hills they call home. Many of these were hand-made by old-timers and have amazing stories that go with them. Their ‘low tech’ Power Point has become a trademark of shows. Every song has a photo quilt to go with it. A picture is worth a 1,000 words.
