As visitors approached downtown Colchester for the annual Labor Day Celebration, they might have thought a professional country singer such as LeAnn Rimes or Reba McEntire had taken the stage.
Audiences quickly found out that it was none other than local country singer Ashley Hart of Adair. At the age of 21, Hart has done more than she could ever dream.
Not only has Hart released two albums but has also had the opportunity to open for legendary country singers such as Charlie Daniels Band, the Oak Ridge Boys and, more recently, Diamond Rio.
During her performance, Hart also said she has performed in Las Vegas at a 1950s- and '60s-themed diner and worked as a LeAnn Rimes impersonator.
At her Colchester appearance, Hart knew exactly what to do to inspire her fans and prove she can be successful.
While performing, Hart certainly lived up to the audience's expectations as she sang each classic tune, including Loretta Lynn's "Coal Miner's Daughter" and more popular songs such as Dixie Chicks' "Goodbye Earl."
Hart adopted a persona similar to famous singers while she prepared audiences before each piece by describing exactly why she was singing the song and what it meant to her. She said she performs most of her songs because of her family and friends.
Hart's apparent comfort with each piece and vocal strength puts her on top of other country greats. It is evident that Hart tries to put everyone's life at ease as she performed with an angelically articulated voice.
Hart described a memorable experience that touched her heart. She lost her younger brother to a tragedy about two years ago, and little girls brought teddy bears for her because they heard she was sad.
An artist who can share her experiences with the audience is truly an artist who knows where she belongs. Hart has a dynamic persona that can make the audience comfortable and forget about what has happened during the day, and it emerges during this magnificent performance.
Throughout the evening, Hart kept up her energy and continued to smile, showing that performing is exactly what she wants to do in the future.
