Entertainment Spotlights

Cliff & Susan

Cliff & Susan are an award-winning married country music duo from Arkansas known for high-energy, dance-first live performances built for big crowds. With fiddle, piano, guitar, and rich vocal harmonies at the center of their sound, they specialize in turning passive audiences into fully engaged participants within the first few songs.

Performing more than 200 shows per year across the U.S. and internationally, Cliff & Susan bring a festival-ready show rooted in groove, musicianship, and crowd connection. Their debut album Fiddle & Keys charted Top 40 on the Apple Country Albums Chart and led to a national television appearance on The Huckabee Show.

In 2025, they were named Entertainer of the Year, Vocal Duo/Group of the Year, and Album of the Year at the Arkansas Country Music Awards, and won Best Vocal Duo – Country at the Josie Music Awards held at the Grand Ole Opry. Their single "Spitfire" also earned Music Video of the Year honors at the Fayetteville Film Festival.

Cliff & Susan have shared stages with ZZ Top, Sawyer Brown, and Niko Moon. We are so excited to have them join us for Hop Alley Rally!

Stateline Shakes

We're excited to welcome the Stateline Shakes to the 6th Annual Hop Alley Rally! The Stateline Shakes are a 5-piece band from northeast Arkansas, playing a wide variety of music spanning multiple decades alongside original material.

From old school rock to honky tonk blues, from reinterpretations of classics to music you've absolutely never heard before — you never quite know what you're getting from the Shakes.
