Due to the continued concern and uncertainties surrounding COVID-19, Arts & Education at the Hoyt has regrettably decided to cancel the 1st annual Hill Stomp concert scheduled for Saturday, September 25. The event is frankly too good not to launch under better circumstances. The event will be rescheduled at a later date.

Michael Christopher
Michael Christopher found perseverance and grit during his childhood growing up in rural Pennsylvania, and the lessons he learned along the way would be right at home in the lyrics of today’s most popular country music.
For the last decade, Michael’s focus and passion has been on music: writing, singing, and performing in clubs, amphitheaters, and festivals across the country. While headlining events across the northeast and beyond, Michael has also opened for some major country stars, including Tyler Farr, Sammy Kershaw, Lonestar, Chris Lane, Jamey Johnson, Phil Vassar, William Michael Morgan and Walker Hayes. His guitar-heavy, rock-edged sound intertwines with invocative lyrical virtuosity and positions him with elite company in the country music scene.
Kelley Jeanne
Kelley Jeanne is an artist and songwriter who wants to pursue her creative vision boldly. Her first single, “One More Mile” is featured on the debut EP ‘glitter ‘n grit’. Kelley uses her unique blend of classical technique with her bluesy tone to create a journey through her songs.
