Former Strathmore Artist in Residence Becky Hill and multi-instrumentalist Rachel Eddy perform an evening of foot stomping Appalachian old-time music and dance in an evening filled with banjo and flatfooting duets, sweet vocal harmonies, hard driving fiddle tunes, sing-a-longs, clogging steps, and a square dance or two. This show is interactive, so come prepared to raise your voice in song, learn a few dance steps, and give square dancing a try. A great show for people of all ages!
Becky Hill is a sought-after percussive dancer, Appalachian square dance caller, choreographer, and educator. Becky has worked with Footworks Percussive Dance Ensemble, Rhythm in Shoes, and Good Foot Dance Company, and has studied with an array of percussive dance tradition bearers.
Rachel Eddy is a native of West Virginia who grew up in a musical family steeped in the traditions of Appalachian music and dance. Rachel’s soulful singing and multi-instrumental finesse—including fiddle, banjo, guitar, and mandolin—may be heard on numerous solo and collaborative recordings as well as at dances and jam sessions.
