STILL ON THE HILL- ONCE A RIVER

An exciting project concerning Beaver Lake and its watershed is afoot in Northwest Arkansas. The popular and award-winning folk duo Still on the Hill is writing and recording an entire CD to create awareness about the lake’s history and collective stories.

The project is being made possible through a collaborative grant from the Arkansas Arts Council, an agency of the Department of Arkansas Heritage, and the National Endowment for the Arts to four northwest Arkansas groups – the Association for Beaver Lake Environment (A.B.L.E.), Ozarks Water Watch, Beaver Water District, and Beaver Watershed Alliance, with special additional sponsorship through the Shiloh Museum of Ozark History. This monumental project is allowing Still on the Hill to research, write and record an entire CD about Beaver Lake and its watershed to create awareness about its history and origins in the White River and collective stories of its people.

Still on the Hill will perform 10 free concerts during the Spring/Summer of 2014 in watershed communities and will give away 100 CDs (one per family) at each performance on a first come, first served basis. These concerts, in addition to being entertaining and educational, will instill a sense of ownership for the protection of this valuable resource, which supplies drinking water and quality of life for one in seven Arkansans!
