Spotlight Series
The Dancing Rabbit Spotlight Series is an opportunity for us to do what we love – bring MORE great performers to McAlester. We can’t always coordinate the artists’ schedules to make our festivals, so we have our Spotlight Series as another way for Okies to come and enjoy amazing entertainers with the spotlight on them.
The Spotlight Series are ticketed events that take place at other venues (outside the Festival Grounds) in Downtown McAlester. These intimate, limited-seating events feature talented performers front and center for an unforgettable night of entertainment.

Will Hoge
Spaceship Earth Coffee Co.
Will Hoge is a mainstay of 21st century rock & roll, carrying the torch for a blue-collar sound rooted in ringing Telecaster guitars and anthemic songwriting. He makes music for roadhouses and rallies, for car stereos and dive-bar jukeboxes, for Saturday night hell-raising and Sunday morning comedowns. In an era of social media influencers looking to fast-track their way to fame, Hoge has proudly taken the long way around, dedicating himself not to the destination, but to the journey itself.

Travis Linville
with Zain Braden
Spaceship Earth Coffee Co.
When someone comes from as strong a musical stock as Travis Linville, a conventional life and the path not taken are irreversibly conjoined. His preternatural musical work ethic was ignited as a small child on the built-in stage in his grandparents’ music room, and since then, Linville’s thirty-something years of sweat equity have culminated in a winding, successful career built of disparate parts: veteran and up-and-comer, mentor and underdog, session player and bandleader, sideman and songwriter.
