Hillary Klug: Multi-Talented Clogging Violinist From Tennessee
|Hillary Klug is a remarkable musician who makes her extraordinary talents seem effortless. She is an exceptional buck dancer (a blend of tap dancing and clogging) and a skilled violinist. When she combines these two talents, the results are nothing short of extraordinary.
Hillary performs on a wooden platform, playing the violin while dancing. She uses her feet to create a beat and her violin to produce the melody, resulting in a highly entertaining musical experience.
Born and raised in Fayetteville, Tennessee, Hillary lived there for 18 years before spending 7 years in Lynchburg, Virginia. She has since returned to Nashville to busk and further her music career.
Hillary’s artistic journey began at the age of 8 when she joined a clogging class. She picked up the fiddle (violin) for the first time at age 13. Despite not coming from a particularly musical family, her mother supported her ambitions and helped her buy her first violin.
