Remembering Harvest’s country star Sentimentality can be a blessing and a curse.

The slightest smell or song can trigger the most powerful of emotions.

Happiness. Sadness. Joy. Longing. They can flood back so quickly, overwhelmingly.

Living away from friends Jason Thomas, Editor and family for an extended period of time magnifies those feelings.

Any Southern Indiana native has strong memories associated with the Harvest Homecoming. It’s the surest sign that fall has arrived, that seasons change, as do our lives.

Music is synonymous with the festival, whether it’s at the small stage in the Main Source parking lot, or bigger acts at the Riverfront Amphitheater.

This week’s cover story from Daniel Suddeath focuses on the amphitheater’s lineup, which aims to attract families as well as the younger crowd.

Nationally known country crooner and Kentucky native J.D. Shelburne is sure to belt out “Farmboy” and “Grandma & Garth” during his headlining act.

That sentimentality thing hits hard every Harvest. A high school classmate of mine, Eric Agnew, loved Garth Brooks. Emulated him. Was old-school like him. Went to Nashville to be like him. Even appeared in a video with him.

Eric was an annual attraction at Harvest Homecoming’s amphitheater stage. His booming country twang seemed to carry all the way to Floyds Knobs.

In 2011, at 37, Eric died suddenly in Nashville.

While his life was cut short, he had realized his dream of being a country musician in Nashville.

Happiness. Sadness. Joy. Longing.

Seasons change, just like us. Nowhere is that more evident than at Harvest Homecoming.

Amphitheater place to be for live music during Harvest Homecoming

BY DANIEL SUDDEATH daniel.suddeath@newsandtribune.com EW ALBANY — From a nationally known country music singer to bands tied to Southern Indiana, the lineup for the Riverfront Amphitheater during Harvest Homecoming Booth Days will feature an eclectic mix of sound.

Beginning at 6 p.m. on the Thursday and Friday of Booth Days, which is Oct. 10-12, the Amphitheater will host six bands and performers.

Harvest Homecoming President Jeff Cummins said all the entertainment will be familyfriendly, but energetic at the same time.

The Friday night lineup will be tailored more toward a family crowd, as From Paris and Jake & Elwood & the Boys are slated to perform. Cummins said the bands are lively and work well with family crowds.

Saturday is typically the busier of the two nights at the riverfront, and the city will welcome a rising country star to the Amphitheater.

soin PLAYLIST Q&A interview WITh

haley jane Hometown/Current residence/age: New Albany/Clarksville/18 How did you get into music? When I was a toddler my dad would pull me up on stage at his shows to sing with him. He was always having gigs or band practices and I loved to listen and sing along. Music surrounded me. Before I decided who I was, I had decided I wanted music to be a part of my life in every way possible. I got my first CD when I was 3 years old and I knew I wanted to make my own some day. I’ve gone to concerts of every kind, making a variety of music essential to my life. Last December I was given the opportunity to meet with Richie Ray from New Albany Production House. I fell in love with the whole recording experience, and it couldn’t have been made any easier for me as a newcomer.

A few months later I released my first original single, “Flashing Lights.” I was hooked!

Please describe your sound: I would describe my sound as sultry rock. When I am writing my songs it never matters how I first hear them in my head, because so far they all end up having a twisted blues/rock combination when they are finished.

Ultimately, I enjoy singing any type of music to which I can build an emotional connection.

What are your inspirations? Life itself is a huge inspiration. Some people have told me a music career was an unattainable goal, but this has driven me to chase my dreams with determination. I’ve learned to let my experiences work for me. When

I write I want my lyrics to convey emotion.

What are your goals? Writing music and singing are passions I use as outlets, and my main desire is to make people feel something through the songs I sing; whether it is through the lyrics or the music that accompany them.

What do you think of the Southern Indiana music scene? The Southern Indiana music scene is evolving rapidly. There are so many talented artists in the area. New Albany Production House has made it possible to do just about anything an aspiring artist could imagine doing; it is the ideal place to pursue your dreams. The surrounding communities are very welcoming and supportive of local music. As an artist it is an exciting movement in which to take part.
