Samuel Harness is Fort Wayne’s latest artist to appear on NBC’s The Voice. Harness sang a unique version of the 3 Doors Down hit song “Here Without You” on the Season 21 premiere (Sept. 21) that ultimately had judges Blake Shelton, Ariana Grande, and John Legend turning the chairs around to watch the performance in awe.
After gaining praise from each of them, the 26-year-old chose to join Legend’s team. The award-winning Legend even admitted that he was jealous of Harness’s range.
How this pairing will turn out is yet to be seen. To follow, tune into NBC on Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m.
Other local stars that have had success on the show include Addison Agen, Keegen Ferrell, and Christiana Danielle.
Smash pumpkins at festival
Although Food Truck Thursdays have come to an end at Ted’s Beerhall, Ted’s still has some outdoor hoopla up their sleeves.
On Saturday, Oct. 16, Teds Harvest Fest will take place at the establishment for a day of outdoor fun, food, games, and prizes.
The family will be kept busy with pumpkin smashing, pumpkin painting, hourly stein hoist competition, cornhole contest, bonfire, and live music by Gray Matter. Perhaps the most intriguing is the pumpkin smashing which is a simple case of hammer meeting pumpkin.
You can also warm up inside with beverages, food, and Ted’s Barcade. The event is raising funds for the Community Harvest Food Bank.

Steel yourself for heavy metal
The Eclectic Room in Angola recently announced they will host the comedic glam metal band Steel Panther on Sunday, Oct. 17, at 7:30 p.m. The band is no stranger to the area having played here on a couple occasions and always delivering a debaucherously fun concert experience. They are currently out in support of their latest effort, Heavy Metal Rules.
