TERRE HAUTE — Music on the riverside is nothing new in Terre Haute.

The concept, carried out most often at the Fairbanks Park amphitheater on the banks of the Wabash River, hit high gear during the past decade. Nationally known artists such as Peter Noone of Herman’s Hermits, America, Monkees lead singer Davy Jones, The Association, Gary Puckett and Sawyer Brown all took the stage during festivals there. It’s also home to the Terre Haute Community Band on selected nights each summer.

LOVES PARK — Organizers of the 39th annual Young at Heart Festival believe they may have attracted record crowds to the event this year.

Diana Johnson, executive director of the Parks Chamber of Commerce, figures that up to 24,000 people attended the first three days of the four-day event. It typically brings in about 20,000 people.

The label side of the country music industry is really up in the air right now. From day to day we see lower numbers not meeting high expectations which leads to a lot of artists getting dropped, not getting albums released or the media push necessary to meet the predicted sales numbers, but it also allows for independent labels to make a bigger splash amongst the country music audience and when you look down the list of indies making noise right now there is only a handful that are closely watching and Average Joe’s Entertainment is no doubt on everyone’s radar.
