ElizaBeth Hill will be in Coffeyville the week of April 6 as part of the Coffeyville Community College Humanities Project.
Hill is a singer-songwriter that not only built her craft through years spent in Nashville’s toughest songwriting circles, but with the help of elders and fluent speakers, taught herself to compose in the Mohawk language as well. Hill’s performances have a combination of prolific lyric writing spanning love songs to her Native American lifestyle. Arresting vocals spin these into a sweet mix of traditional yet bluesy country, and folk. Her given talent for great anecdotes weaves storytelling and a dry humour throughout her sets.
Hill is a Mohawk from Six Nations of the Grand River, Canada. The roots of her music have grown in traditional country, schooled on the Nashville songwriting scene for more than a decade, and are steeped for a lifetime in her Iroquoian culture. Join Hill as she brings her “First Nations of North Ontario” performance to the Coffeyville area.
Hill’s tour in Montgomery County will start on Monday, April 6, at Sycamore Landing and Windsor Place Assisted Living before arriving at the Spencer/Rounds Theatre on the CCC Campus at 10:30 a.m. Tuesday, April 7. Hill will continue her tour of Coffeyville with Windsor Place, Windsor Place SCU and the Medicalodge of Coffeyville on Tuesday afternoon. Wednesday, April 8, she will entertain residents at Pickwick Place, Asbury Village, and Dale Apartments followed by the students at Caney Valley High School on Thursday, April 9, and the Caney Nursing Center and Guest Home Estates in Caney on Friday, April 10.
The public is invited to the 10:30 a.m. Tuesday humanities performances at CCC. The performances are free and held in the Spencer/Rounds Theatre. For more information call 620-251-7700 ext. 2145 or 2038.
