Artist description Harold Hill keeps rolling on, keeps making music, and keeps making progress in bringing his talent to the world at large. He focuses on taking his case to the people who seem to matter most. The audience. Once his new independent CD release has some time in the marketplace, Harold Hill will be seen as a country music property. Until then, he'll continue to enjoy experiencing his success on a grass roots level. He has a lot of friends. And he has experience. He has as much potential as he has "irons in the fire". A lot. If humble roots and hard work are prerequisites to success, Harold Hill, is "the real deal". He was raised back up in the "holler" near Big Stone Gap, VA. He grew up listening to the mountain music of the area. He says one of his first memories of television is watching Dolly Parton on the regional "Cas Walker" program. From singing in church as a boy, to local musical theater productions, to his own local bands, to a music scholarship, he's laid the groundwork. As an adult, from a brief career in radio to a life on the road as an entertainer, all the way to professional singer, songwriter and bandleader, Harold Hill has been committed to achievement in music all his life. For a few years from a home-base in Charlotte, NC, then on to Nashville where he calls home today, Harold has traveled throughout the United States, presenting his road show performances in night clubs and hotel lounges, always increasing his following. Appearances at Nashville's CMA Fan Fair have also become part of his agenda. Nashville wasn't new to Harold when he arrived. The radio business and subsequent musical endeavors like Fan Fair had brought him there many times. Even before his permanent move there, he had songs recorded by Nashville artists, and several songs in catalogs by Music Row publishers. He has lived what Alan Jackson sang about Music Row:"Lordy, don't the wheels turn slow". This musical odyssey for Harold Hill is just now coming to fruit in some unique and unexpected ways, and, with the 2002 release of his debut album on CD, he continues to seek success. Little by little, he's finding it.

Artist History Harold Hill's work with the ongoing Music World entertainment project in Kentucky has earned him a commission from Governor Paul Patton as a member of the Honorary Order of Kentucky Colonels and a presentation from the Commonwealth Business Academy of their prestigious Arena Award. His work with the Music World entrepreneurs and his continuing success with the growing DHS Club online has also allowed him to spend less time on the road and more in Music City pursuing his career as a songwriter and growing as an artist. He writes with other songwriters as well, and he has performed at Nashville's premiere songwriter showcase venues like the Bluebird Cafe. Finally having enough radio-oriented material on hand for himself as an artist, he is proceeding on an independent label with his first major budget recording, an album on CD designed for his friends and fans. He is bringing the details of that project to their attention worldwide on the Internet via a web site with an electronic newsletter/fan club unveiled in May of 2002. Regular tours will be scheduled following the release and promotion of the CD. Harold Hill is a dedicated artist. He makes music that he enjoys, and everyone around him seems to enjoy it as well. And though he'll be the first to tell you his success to date has been a struggle, he makes light of it and plays up the fact that it is the journey that counts most. His philosophy is contagious, and one cannot be around him without getting the feeling that something very special is going to happen very soon. There is much more to Harold Hill as a person than his career as an artist, but the fact that Harold Hill's country music career has been a substantial part of his life is not something to be allowed to go unnoted. There is much to be said for an artist who can "get across" to his audience that he is just one of them. His persona is that he's just a person who puts his mind and his effort to it in order to share some music. He has the required character traits, and the way he's gathering friends and fans, commercial success is very close. An examination of his life shows anyone interested that he has country roots, that he loves country music, that he loves country people, and that he is a notable country personality on any level of success. If you are inclined toward being a country music fan, Harold Hill is essential listening. He's an original.
