There are some that are talented, then there are the super talented
An Epic Performance
Hillary Klug not only put on an outstanding performance she pulled it off in a parking garage.
The Beginning
The video begins with Hillary standing on a block of cement and while she is playing Cotton Eyed Joe on her fiddle she is stepping out the tune.
It Gets Better
Then Hillary adds to the experience by singing it. She goes through the entire song following through with all three tasks of playing the violin, dancing and singing flawlessly.
Then It Gets Even Better
Just when you think a grand performance has come to an end Hillary is joined by two also very talented young ladies.
The Cotton Eyed Joe Stepped Up a Notch
The three girls one again offer a performance to the song Cotton Eyed Joe while they dance along to it. Each one in perfect step with the other.
It was an epic performance.
The Preparation
While Hillary is to be commended for her performance she also received a pat on the back for creating the video and she talks about how big of a challenge it was.
The Location
Who could imagine that an underground parking garage would make such a terrific stage for these three performers? There was nothing about the environment to steal away the attention from the girls. The acoustics were perfect.
The Internet Super Star
Hillary is from Lynchburg Tennessee and she is fast making a name for herself as a fiddler and singer. She is a all-around performer.
She started dancing at the age of eight and started with the fiddle at thirteen.
A Lesson From Her Parents
Hillary’s parents helped her pay for half of her first fiddle, with the condition that if she quit playing she would have to pay them this back. Little did they imagine just how far Hillary would go.
Her Accomplishments
She has racked up many accolades and it looks like the list is just going to keep on growing.
- National Buck Dancing Championship
- Kentucky State Dance Championship
- Release of her first album
- Featured in a UK independent film called Country Music
Another Up and Coming Star
There are a lot of young ones that take an interest in the fiddle at a very young age, but not all of them go on to be as impressive as Hillary or this little guy, Carson Peters. Carson started playing the fiddle when he was three years old. By the age of nine, he had won the Young Bluegrass Musicians contest in Rogersville. At the age of ten, he made it to the Grand Old Oprey
Lesson To Be Learned
All too often parents may think that kids are taking an interest in a musical interest on a whim. It is fair to say that this is often true. However, on occasion the little one asking for that musical instrument is a star waiting to shine.
