As a young woman, she followed her dream to pursue music as her full-time career. You can find her in the heart of Ohio’s music scene in Columbus, Ohio but her roots here inform much about her soulful, bluesy, folksy songs that ring with the truth of her experience. Paisha calls her style “Miami County soul/funk/gospel.” She is a descendant of the Randolph Freedpeople, a well-documented Miami County story of black migration. Like these stories, the poetry of her songs can be cutting, as well as full of hope and power. She is bringing her songs, especially the songs of her ancestors, the Randolph Freedpeople, back home to Troy. She will be joined by Chris Shaw on fiddle and guitar, Reggie Jackson on drums and Paul Vineyard on bass and harmonica.The musicians of the Someday Morning band came together in 2016 after a chance meeting at a party in Mechanicsburg, Ohio. Each had recently returned home after years of touring the country with different bands. Each had come back thinking about settling down in Ohio. It did not take long after the party for them to realize that this chance meeting could be the start of something they were looking for. They call themselves Someday Morning and describe themselves as:
“A four-piece band from small town Ohio with nothing to prove and nothing to lose. Great story telling with simple arrangements and melodies that go down as easy…It’s country, it’s rock, but at its core it’s just a group of blue-collar guys doing what they love.”
Someday Morning is their passion project. Troy Brown plays guitar, Reed Jones is lead guitar, mandolin, banjo and Jordan Powell plays bass and keys with Dann Burd on percussion.Berachah Valley has been playing bluegrass together in our area for over 16 years. Their sound is associated with tight female vocal harmonies and exceptional musical talent. Berachah Valley is what we have come to associate as the traditional southern Ohio bluegrass style. They have performed around this half of the country at every festival you can imagine and opened for so many talents such as Rhonda Vincent, Pine Mountain Railroad, Paul Williams and the Victory Trio, Joe Mullins and the Radio Ramblers and many more. In 2021 they were recognized on a national level and were asked to be the bluegrass behind the new movie, “Mayberry Man.” It has been an exciting year for the Miami County band. We are fortunate to share it with them. This six-piece band includes the harmonies of Cathy Baker, Michelle Edester, Leisa Hinkle and Larry Collins. You will find Cathy on guitar, Michelle on mandolin, Becky Meyers on banjo, Leisa on percussion and Larry on stand-up bass.Alyssa Hanson is very involved in the Dayton music scene. At one time she was the host of Mick Montgomery’s “Musician’s Co-op.” You will find her performing throughout the area at places like Yellow Cab, Dayton Music Fest, Piqua Arts Council and Moeller Brew Barn. A classically trained vocalist, she studied at Lee University in Tennessee. Eventually she made her way to Nashville and developed her own soulful-folk style with a bit of Broadway around the edges. She was co-writer and lead singer for Red In The Water on the album “Chasing Change” in 2017. Alyssa will be performing as a duo for our final Lucky Lemonade Concert of the season. Her brother Tyler Hanson will join her on vocals and guitar.This is a free downtown Troy, summer concert series thanks to The Troy Foundation and our generous sponsors.

Her drawings and paintings are in private, corporate and public collections including the offices of the Cumberland Pencil Company (Derwent) in England. Multiple manufacturers of art materials often ask her to test products, and they have used her work for promotional materials and packaging. She has also written for The Artist’s Magazine.
“I am called to the beach” says Melissa, “my art usually starts there. The natural environment inspires me by itself, but it’s also a stage for human activity. My drawings include both elements: energy and color brought by people interacting with each other and with sand, water and sky.”Troy Main Street presents
2021 Sculputes on the Square
June 18 – October 4
The Hayner staff has been working with Troy Main Street in support of the 2021 Sculptures on the Square. The opening celebration has been cancelled due to uncertain weather. Please join downtown sometime soon to enjoy this exciting exhibit.
Hayner participates in the Painted Piano ProjectHayner’s Exhibit Coordinator, Leona Sargent designed a piano for this downtown Troy event. It was painted with help from five other staff members. Sponsored by City of Troy and Troy Main Street, the Painted Pianos Project will show off artwork from the Lincoln Community Center, the Troy-Hayner Cultural Center, and the Mayflower Arts Center on three “upcycled” pianos donated by area families.
The pianos will be placed downtown from June 14 into August, inviting visitors to engage with downtown Troy while celebrating music and visual arts. One piano will be placed at the Miami County Courthouse Plaza, one near Prouty Plaza, and one on the Southeast quadrant of the Square in front of Haren’s Market.
“Troy Main Street is excited to add another piece to our Sculptures on the Square and public arts projects with Painted Pianos.” said Andrea Keller, Executive Director of Troy Main Street. “Besides adding more art downtown, these pianos can be played, adding an element of the musical arts into our programs. Make sure when you come downtown this summer, you tickle those ivories and add your own flair downtown!”
