The Vision by New Harvest

” “It's not easy to get on that legendary stage and perform the way New harvest did, so please let them know they made a lot of new fans with that fantastic performance--and what a great song! It's one thing to be able to sing, but to come on and rock a new joint and one that's so catchy and positive? Well, yeah, I'm very impressed.”

Their new CD is entitled ‘The Vision’. It captures the hit that placed them on the map; I Know that He Can. They wanted to record a song that their fan-base can identify with. It also gives them a chance to acknowledge two great women that took an interest in the talent of the group and songwriting of Terence O. Hayes, Sr. Ms Vanessa Brown, talent coordinator for Showtime at the Apollo and Ms Rodena Preston-Williams, Performing & Recording coordinator for the Gospel Music Workshop of America’s Mass Choir and New Music. Vanessa enjoyed the talent of New Harvest and invited them to sing in New York during the Apollo’s on the road search for new talent. They made a back-to-back performance in such a legendary place. “We will never forget the experience we had on that fantastic stage at the Apollo!” stated members from New Harvest. The staff and everyone was just wonderful.

Ms. Preston selected the track I Know that He Can because it had a youthful vibe and Terence was invited to Tampa Florida in 2003 and taught his song to the GMWA Youth Choir! It was a great opportunity teaching an original composition to new and talented voices. The CD contains a contemporary feel of the classic “His Eye is On the Sparrow” which caught the I Hear Music in The Air Conference crowds attention. One of Dayton’s own fine musician’s and drummer; John Taylor co-produced this track adding more spice to the composition. This track will also feature the Hayes Sisters. (Sharita Hayes-Brown, Alisha Hayes, & LaTosha Hayes). Terence is proud to display the talent of his daughters. As a matter of fact Terence’s eldest son (Terence, Jr.) composed the music tracks for the project. Terence, Jr. is 22 years of age and is a force to be reckoned with along with his cousin James Byrd III. Get ready for a FaithWorks production on Vital Records this fall from the man behind the music scene of New Harvest.

Other songs will include, Higher Ground, A Brighter Day (remix) Whole Heart, a splendid ballad with the voice of Norman McDuffie taking front and center leads on I Gotta Keep Pressing On. The compact disc has a 2:00 minute praise and worship cut…it will take you to church! Lastly, the projects cover title has a tune entitled ‘The Vision.’ It has a full-extended version along with a radio cut. This song has a little ‘Sting’ vibe with some awesome guitar work laid down by Byron Crews. Bryon’s guitar licks are flavored throughout the project.

New Harvest was blessed to meet a fine producer and engineer for the project; John Hughes of Hughes Digital (www.hughesdigi.com) located in Bellbrook OH. John took this project under his wings and gave it the personal attention any good producer would warrant a project that would have their name placed on it. New Harvest worked like brothers with John and Terence trusted all decisions and feedback the producer gave him to get the job done. A special thanks to Linda Hughes, Mitch and Haley Hughes, for sharing your husband and dad with us to produce some good music!!

Look for this project in stores real soon and make it a part of your library. For the vision is yet for an appointed time! New Harvest members are Joe Byrd, Tim Wilson, Jr. Norman McDuffie and Terence O. Hayes, Sr.

Look for their new release with Vital Communications in 2007.
