Up-And-Coming Music Star To Sing At Southington Festival

SOUTHINGTON, CT — An up-and-coming singing star with roots in Southington will perform this year at the town's biggest celebration this fall.

Southington High School graduate and current country-pop music sensation Erin Gibney, 25 (she turns 26 on Friday, July 11), will be coming home this October to perform at the Southington Apple Harvest Festival.

Festival officials announced Gibney's performance on July 3.

"We’re thrilled to welcome Erin Gibney back to where it all began—live on stage at the Apple Harvest Festival," wrote event organizers.

Gibney first performed at the festival, Southington's massive, two-weekend autumn civic celebration, in 2014.

Afterwards, she went to Belmont University in Nashville, Tenn., where she has since stayed to pursue a country-pop music career.

Considered an up-and-coming talent, Gibney's presence is growing in music circles, social media, and on video content platforms.

"From her first performance at the festival in 2014 to viral hits, national tours, and millions of streams, Erin’s star is rising fast—and now she’s coming home to share the music that’s capturing hearts across the country," wrote the festival.

"Don’t miss this unforgettable hometown performance from one of country-pop’s brightest new voices."

Her performance at the festival will take place Saturday, Oct. 4, from 7:30 to 8:30 a.m.

The festival itself will take place from Friday to Sunday, Oct. 3-5, and, again, from Friday to Sunday, Oct. 10-12.
