Had great experience here at the Harvester with Upstairs venue, but on the landing pad stage downstairs at the hackensaw boys concert, was asked repeatedly to keep voices down by a female that was running the concession stand. They asked us to not talk. They said that people we re turning around looking. If you are looking to have a good time and to also be able to talk to your friends or company, don t go here!! The band are great but some of the staff of the harvester and some of the patrons are awful!!! I was at a blue grass concert on 12/14 but was expected to act like I was in a library or at church. Very disappointed!!!

It's a great venue and it's awesome for the surrounding area, but their ticket prices are astronomical. I get it's a small venue and a small town and to bring these acts in takes some money, but it flies all over me to spend $300+ for the wife and I to see a show there.

Saw Steve Earle last night and was VERY disappointed. First, I got there at 5;45 to assure a good seat. I was 5th in General Admission line. When I got in the venue, the front row of GA area was 2/3 full.The second row also had people in it. I asked those people how they managed to get in before me. They said they "mistakenly" got in the back of the gold line and was ushered in before me!! I have been here many times and currently have tickets for another show. Harvester used to have workers come out in the lines and verify what line they should be in and make sure this doesn't happen. What happened to that practice? Now you can show up whenever you want and jump in line and waltz right in. WRONG! I hope Harvester will put and end to this if they want my business any longer. Lastly, I have seen Steve Earle twice before, once here. His sound was always right on the mark. Last night it was so loud and DISTORTED, you couldn't understand any of the vocals. Don't know if Harvesters sound man couldn't hear that it sounded terrible. Louder is not always better, I listen to loud rock n roll. Need a better sound check next time. If I hadn't spent so much money on tickets, I would have got up and left. This is the first time this place has let me down so I'm hoping this was a one time thing. I have experienced better at Harvester and love this place.

The Harvester staff are always extremely friendly and helpful. The exceptional quality of the live music at The Harvester makes it difficult to listen to live music anywhere else and be satisfied. They serve beer and light snacks and occasionally a food truck or cupcakes are available for purchase.

Everything was perfect for TBT last night except way overcrowded and no seats. Had to stand the whole time. I mean no seats anywhere. A little put out to have to stand. No way to see the band even if I did stand. 5 1 doesn t allow for a good look over the crowd. You all go ahead. It would take a lot for me to go back and spend 55 minutes driving along with standing for upstate and TBT. If you all can stand that long go for it. Everything else was perfect.

Let me start with the positives. Great acoustics, and the stage lighting is surprisingly really great! This venue also books a wide variety of fantastic artists.

Now, here is where they lost me. The prices are ridiculous. The gold section is roughly the first 10 rows with the rows stretching from wall to wall meaning if you are in the back of the gold section line you just paid 20-40 dollars more than general admission to have a worse view. The main room reminds me of a hotel conference center which isn t awful but there isn t much of a slant to the floor so you re staring at the back of the people in front of you the whole show. This wouldn t be as big of a problem except the stage sits relatively low in relationship to the floor. If the stage elevation was higher it would make it easier to see.

The doors into the main room are on the side so every time people get up and walk out the doors open and light comes in despite the curtains they have up. Depending on the show and the crowd this will happen thousands of times and be loud and a distraction.

This is by no means a bad venue, but I can see the same bands in cooler cities with more to do for a lesser price. The prices kill this venue for me. The excuse that it s small and intimate does not hold up. There are venues of similar or smaller size with more reasonable ticket prices and stage set ups. $100.00+ for gold section for bands your can see for $50.00 at a better venue makes it a no brainer for me to avoid coming back

Its been years since i had been to this area.It is the old harware/feed store. I was wondering where they would put a venue. Sound was great, small place, chairs were comfortable. Had a little snack bar that included wine and i think beer. Parking is pretty much the farmers market. Small stage. We would go again

I ve seen several shows here. None of the artists have disappointed. Performances were flawless.

The venue is really intimate and you will have an amazing experience.

I hesitate to post this because I want to always be able to get a great spot to see talent you usually have to drive hours to see!

5 STARS.....BIG TIME !!!!.....I was able to purchase tickets for the 3/23 Jimmy Fortune concert on the day of the event for my parents. My parents were ecstatic at how the staff treated them and allowed them in a couple minutes early due to my father's disability. Best $80 spent in a long time. The smiles on their faces were worth 10 times that. 6 stars if it were possible. Thank you to all the staff.

Went to HPC tonight for Marty Stuart concert and discovered that although they were charging full concert prices he was only performing an accoustic show. No Telecasters, no full drums etc. just enhanced accoustics and a madolin. Doghouse base and a snare drum. Show sucked and I walked out 25 minutes in.

Wonderful first time trip to this venue to see BlackBerry Smoke with Lukas Nelson and POTR. Comfortable seats, (which did not get much wear from us!) a superb sound, a great vibe and each and every staff member/volunteer we came in contact with were top-notch and welcoming. Thank you, Harvester.
