SECOND
SATURDAY CONCERT "These
musicians have grafted the wild climbing
vines of bluegrass, folk, classical and
mountain music onto the hardiest of
Ozark rootstock. The result is a
yet-to-be-named hybrid music that
compels people to stop and listen, to
pause in their hectic lives and pay
attention to something they've never
heard before. It's magic, and there's
simply not enough magic in the world
today. Visually, Still
on the Hill is full of color
and motion: they command their
instruments with power and grace,
producing a sound that is both fresh and
ancient at the same time. Lyrically,
their original material is packed with
new ideas, social awareness and a level
of intellect and consciousness that's
seldom found in contemporary tunes. Still
on
the Hill are
consummate professionals,
whether they're performing
for an audience of one or
for thousands. Their
high-energy seems to emerge
from somewhere deep inside
their souls. They play music
for only one reason: it's a
spark, or maybe a raging
bonfire, inside each of them
that has to come out. It's
something that's shared just
as easily with a large
festival audience as it
would be with a quiet Ozark
Forest." - Julie Koehler,
