The Cleverlys in Concert (Fundraiser)
Ozark Folk Center State Park
What to know
The Stone County Sesquicentennial Committee has announced that it will present a concert March 4 at 7 p.m., when The Cleverlys will appear at the Ozark Folk Center’s Ozark Highlands Theater in Mountain View.
Tickets are $25 each (plus tax) and currently are on sale through the website StoneCounty150.com, or by calling 870-214-3220.
The Cleverlys are a
one-of-a-kind comedy/music blend coming from the remote part of the
Ozark Mountains, near Cane Spur, Arkansas.
Digger Cleverly, along with his nephews Ricky Lloyd, Sock, DVD and Cub, make up The Cleverlys. They have traveled the globe, if the globe only consisted of the United States, performing at music venues and some of the nation’s largest festivals like Stagecoach, Telluride, CMA Music Fest and even the Grand Ole Opry.
The New York Times wrote, “If Earl Scruggs, Dolly Parton, and Spinal Tap spawned a litter of puppies, it would be the Cleverlys.”
Don’t be fooled by this faux-family band – they are all accomplished musicians putting their unique bluegrass spin on cover songs from any genre. The Cleverlys’ set list includes genius arrangements of tunes like Psy’s “Gangnam Style,” a medley of Blackstreet’s “No Diggity,” and Flo Rida’s “Low” that recently went viral on Facebook, with over 11 million views from a local TV appearance.
Rolling Stone Magazine says Digger’s “out-of-date eyeglasses are as thick as his hillbilly accent, but whose comic sensibilities are a hilariously off-kilter hybrid of Homer & Jethro and The Office.”
