Songwriter Terry Hall takes a moment away from the recording process inside the New Albany Production House studio. | STAFF PHOTO BY TYLER STEWART

Ian Hall is busy with new projects in New Albany.

Terry Hall doesn’t fit the bill for someone who frequents a New Albany recording studio.

For starters, he’s a senior corporate financial analyst. And instead of an instrument or his voice, he favors a pen and paper. Or maybe a laptop.

Hall, 27, is making a name for himself as a songwriter. As you’ll discover in today’s cover story, the amateur poet-turned songwriter is chasing his dream with the New Albany Pro-duction House serving as the launching pad.

His most ambitious project to date is his recently released compilation album, called “Full Circle,” which is filled with songs that he wrote or co-wrote with other artists, including Olivia Henken, Tara Schmelz writes. Henken, a Louisville native who has been featured on the TV show “The Voice,” also sang back-up vocals for “Stay” and sang and co-wrote “Wine After Whiskey” on the album.

For a songwriter to release his own album is downright unheard of, and ultimately cou-rageous, says Richie Ray, co-owner of New Albany Production House.

Artists have taken note of Hall’s talent. “It’s a gift. It comes natural to some people. It

doesn’t to me, but it does for him. It’s incredible what he can do,” Henken said of Hall’s work.

Speaking of work: It’s taken Hall a lot of elbow grease to elbow his way into the music industry. The nose-to-the-grindstone approach is

starting to pay off. Hall told Schmelz that 103.1 FM has picked up some of his songs.

Hall’s wife is expecting the couple’s first child. An-other act for Hall to balance on a particularly busy plate.

Bet that will make some good fodder for a song or two.

With their “Lonely Caravan” album set for official release this fall, Christiana Lawrence Youngs and Tyler Youngs — a married couple born and raised in New Albany — formed their duo in 2011 and Youngstown Parade two years ago, according to a news release from the band. Louisville mu-sicians Steve Hawkes (drummer/per-cussion) and Cris Palma (bass) have since joined to round out the four-some’s eclectic-take on the trending Americana genre. Floridian Hawkes

previously toured in the south with Herd of Watts, while Palma performed in the Philippines before moving to the states. Although their songs lean more toward a folk sound, Christi and Tyler provide complimentary harmo-nies with Tyler also playing lead guitar to create the Americana blend of folk, rock and blues.

Along with the up-tempoed, “Free-dom,” “Lonely Caravan,” contains 10 tracks, including “Movin’ On” and “Take Kentucky with You,” which are currently featured on Crescent Hill Radio’s 100.9 WCHQ.

“Lonley Caravan” was recorded at New Albany Production House (NAPH) under the guidance of Cory Pollard and Richie Ray. NAPH is known for recording up-and-coming artists from Louisville metro and Southern Indiana artists such as Ol-ivia Henken (attained top 10 finals on NBC’s The voice), Asterino Sisters (auditioned for NBC’s America’s Got Talent), Jackie Dee Small (featured on TLC’s My Big Fat American Gyp-sy Wedding), Dusty Leigh (Billboard Chart Angelos) and more. David & Whitney Resch will be opening the show. NAPH is fast becoming the place to go for recording in South-ern Indiana. With this debut album release, Youngstown Parade can now be added to this roster of talented local artists.

Kicking off the release party at 10 p.m. will be Jacob Resch followed by Youngstown Parade at 11. Band T-shirts, CD’s, and other items will be available for purchase by the public. Admission is free, but seats are limited

Southern Indiana songwriter releases album with local artists

By TARA [email protected]

NEW ALBANY—In a dimly lit studio room, Lou-isville native Terry Hall sat on the couch to be in-terviewed while the co-owner of the New Albany

Production House, Richie Ray, checked his computer.The latest version of a new song Hall co-wrote came in

from the editors in Nashville for his review.“It gives you chills every time,” he said of hearing his

songs with a smile. “It’s a rush. I can’t compare it to any-thing.”

It doesn’t get old to Hall, who has written for two-and-a-half years now, totaling more than 100 finished songs, and 500 ideas, ready to be molded into the next hit.

You wouldn’t know that he’s a senior corporate financial analyst.

“It calls for long nights and early mornings,” he said of balancing his day job with writing, along with his family, which includes his wife, who is pregnant with their first child.

The now 27-year-old started writing poetry after 9/11, which inspired him for his first piece. He said poetry helped him develop his ability with words. That ability turned into a fun hobby of creating lyrics to songs off the top of his head with others.

He showed that off years later, when he found himself hanging out with country singer Dustin Lynch’s band. The group was making up lyrics for fun, when one of the mem-bers said Hall could write for a career.

“I came home and got to thinking about it and thought, ‘you know, I think I could.’ Lyrically, I know I could,” Hall said confidentially.

And the first song he wrote, “Stay,” ended up on his new-ly released compilation album, which is filled with songs

that he wrote or co-wrote with other artists, including Ol-ivia Henken. Henken, a Louisville native who has been

featured on the TV show “The Voice,” also sang back-up vocals for “Stay” and sang and co-wrote “Wine After Whiskey” on the album.

“Terry writes some incredible songs. He writes stories that people can relate to. We’re all kind of going through the same thing,” Henken said. “It’s something your friend or your potential friend wrote and you can jam to it in your car and it came from this town. I guess you can say it’s Kentucky proud.”

Henken had always wanted to write a song

as well and contacted Hall after coming up with the title “Wine after Whiskey.” She said they met at New Albany Production House and came up with the lyrics and music, putting down a scratch production track the same day.

“It’s a gift. It comes natural to some people. It doesn’t to me, but it does for him. It’s incredible what he can do,” Henken said. “Terry helped me take my ideas and put them in an actual song. He brought out a lot of ideas that I had in my head, but couldn’t put into words. It was an experience for sure, but a fun one.”

While Hall has been developing his talent, Lynch has been topping the country music charts. The two keep in touch, with Lynch giving feedback and advice to Hall.

“What sets Terry apart and will continue to set him apart in the writing world is his ability to adapt to a room. This is a big deal whenever you’re collaborating with different types of writers’ and artists’ personalities,” Lynch said.

UNCHARTED TERRITORYRay, who produced all but three songs on the album, said

Hall has more than just a gift of writing. He has guts.“Usually the song writers are the unsung heroes,” Ray

said of writers not getting the recognition that singers do. “It’s almost unheard of (to release an album for a writer). It was a pretty ballsy move. It was a risk. But all the songs are good. He did a heck of a job.”

Henken agreed, saying that she knows how hard it can be to release a song you wrote for the public to judge.

“If people didn’t like it, it was my songwriting. I can’t put into words how nerve-wracking it is to do something like that, all your feelings and emotions you put into

your song, to put it on Sound Cloud for people to hear,” she said. “But country music is all about the story.”

The CD, titled “Full Circle,” is filled with 14 songs, all sang by local artists, including Emmy Bodner, Shane

Dawson, Korey Wayne Sorg, Dave and Whitney Campbell in addition to Henken.

Hall said he made the CD to help get his name out there, with the hope of being asked to write more songs for artists.

“It wasn’t about making money. It’s about showing what I could do and what the artist could do,” he said.

“I’m glad he’s getting it out there and hopefully some-thing will get picked up,” Henken said.

With the CD not being a traditional one, in which the singer released it, Hall is having to work extra hard in promoting it. He said 103.1 FM has picked up some of his songs.

“I’m not scared to put myself out there,” Hall said. “I’ve been told no a lot and it doesn’t scare me to hear it.”

Q&A with Greg Wortham about KingFish’s new On the Rocks bar in the lower level of the restaurant

Describe the inspiration behind On the Rocks: I would have to say the main inspiration behind the new concept was the space itself. It is arguably the best outside patio in the Kentuckiana area and was not being utilized to its fullest. The combination of the spectacular view of Downtown Louisville right on the bank of the water and a covered patio/bar makes it unlike any other around. It was a natural for a resort feeling bar and grill with live music.

What do you hope to accomplish: There are several things that we hope to accomplish. First, we want to give people something a little different from the seafood themed menu upstairs with the hope of attracting new customers who may not have tried KingFish just because they don’t like seafood. While you can still get the fish sandwich that the company was founded on, you can also get gourmet hamburgers, fresh cut fries and fresh oysters, raw, grilled or fried. Second, we want to give people a place that they can not only get a great meal, but a place they can make a night of it by listening to the area’s top bands

while enjoying their favorite cocktail or just a soda. It can also be a great place to come even if you dine inside upstairs at KingFish. No better place for an after-dinner drink on a pretty summer night.

Describe the inspiration be-hind the menu: Our inspiration with the menu was to keep it very simple so that every single item is off the charts. We would gladly put any of our burgers, the fries with homemade dipping sauces and the oysters against any in town. We are that confident. By keeping the menu rather simple we felt we could ac-complish that. We do plan to expand the menu somewhat, but only if we

feel anything new meets that same criteria. Our chef is Kent Nanni.

What can patrons expect to experience? Again we hope that it is a similar feel to being on vacation at a resort on the ocean somewhere. It is a very casual come as you are type of place. Nights with beautiful weather are obviously great, but even if it rains it can be a great place to be outside yet undercover.

ENTERTAINMENT This week's entertainment releases

As part of the Arts Council of Southern Indiana’s Art on the Road program, the Arts Council is collaborating with Horseshoe Southern Indiana to present a series of exhibits. The third in a series of exhibits features artist Wini Kemple Harrison.

Wini Harrison, a native of Floyd County, is a private instructor for the Arts Council of Southern Indiana and Preston Arts Center. She received her B.A. from Indiana University Southeast, and has been and instructor for the past 15 years.

“For me it begins with Red: Finding morels amid the rotting umbers and faint spring greens of the woods with my dad and storing them in a red knit cap; scraping my knee on terra cotta cobblestones and my grandma pouring on the mercurochrome or methylate (whichever hurt more). My earliest memories are ripe with color: Mom dress-ing me for in daffodil yellow and black patent leather taking my picture beside the lilac bush before Easter Sunday mass; my sister tanning by an aqua blue concrete pool, smelling of Cop-pertone and summer;my brother and I riding in a red radio flyer, drinking Grape Nehis,” Wini Harrison said in an Arts Council news release.

“The old Sycamore, a white

goddess, her pale bark against a cerulean sky,” she said. “As I look at this painting among the others presented here, my styles, methods and subject matter seem to me to be scattered to the four winds united only tenuous-ly by a reverence of color. But something else is at play here beside just an advanced case of ADD. I have taught painting for the past 15 years at Preston Art Center and have the privilege of earning a living doing what I love with the support of the family Preston. I have learned most of what I know about painting by teaching and about teaching by painting. So my subjects, methods and style vary with what I need to teach.”
