OUR STORY

Music Belongs to the People.

FEST IN THE HILLS was founded by artist, vocalist, songwriter, and community advocate Lisa THEE' Oracle Hightower with one simple belief:

Great music should bring people together.

In a world where genuine connection has become increasingly rare, FEST IN THE HILLS creates a space where neighbors become friends, cultures are celebrated, artists are honored, and community is strengthened through the universal language of music.

As a working artist herself, Lisa understands what it takes to create, perform, and share music with the world. She also understands that artists deserve more than applause—they deserve respect, support, and fair compensation for their gifts.

That is why your support matters.

Most importantly, you are helping ensure that music remains something that belongs to everyone—not just those who can afford it.
