Jeff Hartman & Friends Get Muddy
Music & Mud: A Heritage, Music and Pottery Festival
Newton-Conover Auditorium on April 10 from 1:30 pm
NEWTON – Jeff Hartman & Friends will “get muddy” and join an incredible lineup of artists and entertainers for Newton-Conover Auditorium’s first-ever heritage, music and pottery festival, Executive Director Reggie Helton coined “Music & Mud.” Jeff & Friends features recent Hickory Rotary Club Rotarian Idol winner Carol Anne Hartman and introduces up-and-coming recording artist Lauren DeLeary, who recently released her first music video. The festival begins at Newton-Conover Auditorium in Newton, NC on Saturday, April 10 from 10 am. The event is free to the public.
“This is another in a string of recent opportunities for original artists to be heard. Original music often escapes unifour venues and events. Arts champions like Sarah Frisbey, Jimmy Rhine, Rufus Smith and now Reggie Helton are all offering original artists and music lovers alike much-needed opportunities to inhale something fresh (and early).”
Jeff Hartman has been touring and promoting original music professionally for over 15 years. His group most recently sold out a concert in Hickory Community Theatre’s Firemen’s Kitchen for Jimmy Rhine and Five Head Entertainment’s Summer Concert Series. Hartman had the privilege of performing for Supreme Court Justice Alito in 2009 at The Lafayette Room of the Hay-Adams across the street from The White House. The President took residence at the Hay-Adams prior to his inauguration.
A published poet and influenced in equal parts by folk and funk artists alike, Jeff’s songs are a mix of dazed beauty and bitter-sweetness. Here are tales of abuse and misuse, of vulnerability and resolve, poetic trances like the Appalachia-esque “Erica’s Song” and the biographical “Northern Accent.” Friends include Forrest Brown, Carol Anne Hartman, and Jeremy Shaw, and features Lauren DeLeary.

God bless you and thank you for supporting performing arts!
