Special Guests

Hoss Ridgeway

Hoss was born in the seventies and has lived in such great states as PA, TN, VA, WV, OH, KY, IN, FL, and AL. Confused by the cultural diversity this has sent Hoss into the dark world of comedy. Hoss was forced to try to mimic the different accents that he had been hearing in the nine plus schools he had attended. Gifted in the realm of imitation he has begun his trek into stand-up comedy. Using music, crazy life stories, and just good old drama he has entertained crowds in OH, FL, WA, OK, NB, TN, CO, VA and WV.

Art is always a talent I've used, but in 1998 my life changed when doctors discovered that I had auto-immune hepatitis of my liver. I was the first in my city to be diagnosed with this chronic illness, and being near death, it took me nearly 2 years to begin to function normally once again. While recovering, art became my venue of expression and purpose. I left my school being honored as most artistic and receiving my city's only art scholarship. I decided to attend college at Harding University because of my conviction that the beginning of all knowledge is fear of the Lord. At Harding, I was awarded another art scholarship. I earned my B.F.A. (Bachelors degree of Fine Art) in painting with plans to get an M.F.A. (Masters degree of Fine Art). By keeping the spiritual aspects of my life in balance with the mental and physical, I feel that my art continually gains the depth that makes masterpieces. My first painting was fall of 2004, so I am a fairly new, but extremely dedicated to painting. Summer of 2005, I studied abroad in Florence, Italy and traveled all across Europe getting to spend entire days studying the great European artists of the past. I was even able to visit my sister in Kenya and teach art classes to students in primary school. After graduating early, I toured America from the East coast to the West painting at every stop. I plan to be a painter and sell my art at shows and galleries across the world, contribute to art theory, and keep up my painting ministry wherever I go.
