Hill Hollow Band To Play
The popular Hill Hollow Band will be appearing at the Walter A. Wood Tractor and Agriculture Show in Hoosick Falls on Saturday, October 1 from 11:30 am to 3:30 pm. Bring a chair and enjoy this toe-tapping, foot stomping show. Admission is free.
The Hill Hollow Band can aptly be described as a self-contained music festival. Each gig is a rambling, fun event with musical influences that span a century. While respectful of their musical heritage, the band’s direction never wavers in one respect – they always play and sing tunes as they feel them at that moment, letting the spirit of the music lead them forward. Their variety of train songs, blues, bluegrass and folk tunes makes for an adventurous live performance. For more information on the Walter A.
