A new country-rock musical with strong ties to Tioga County is taking the stage in New York City after over a decade of development. Originally premiering as “Smile” at the Deane Center in Wellsboro in February 2013, the production has evolved into the hit musical Music City, which opened at the West End Theater in New York City in October 2024.
Written by Peter Zinn and featuring popular country-rock hits by JT Harding, Music City tells the story of a group of songwriters navigating the challenges of the early 2000s. Set in Nashville during a time of societal upheaval, the show explores the lives of its characters as they struggle to make their mark on one of America’s most iconic music scenes.
“Set in the early 2000s, in a Nashville fractured by the American methamphetamine crisis and the Global War on Terror, Music City’s hardscrabble band of songwriters struggles to leave their mark on one of America’s wildest music scenes,” says Chloe Rabinowitz of Broadway World.
With an updated storyline and new songs, Music City features a dynamic soundtrack, including familiar hits written by JT Harding like “Smile” by Uncle Kracker, “Somewhere With You” by Kenny Chesney, “Sangria” by Blake Shelton, “Alone With You” by Keith Urban, and many more.

In a joint effort to address concerns and reports of increased deer pressure on agriculture crops across the state, a joint town hall meeting was held on Thursday, Jan. 9, 2025, at the Pennsylvania Farm Show to discuss crop damage caused by deer and other wildlife.
The meeting was led by an expert panel consisting of Pennsylvania Secretary of Agriculture Russell Redding, Pennsylvania Game Commission Executive Director Steve Smith, Pennsylvania Farm Bureau President Chris Hoffman, and Hunters Sharing the Harvest Executive Director Randy Ferguson.
“Pennsylvania’s wildlife belongs to all citizens of this great Commonwealth,” said Game Commission Executive Director Steve Smith. “With habitat loss, crop depredation, and other wildlife challenges that are facing us, it is vital that we work together to find a solution that is agreeable to everyone and keep hunters on the front lines of managing healthy wildlife populations.”
This meeting was part of a continuing conversation between these stakeholders, some of which arose during last year’s legislative push to remove the broad prohibition on Sunday hunting to allow the Game Commission to regulate Sunday hunting completely. Farmers in many cases depend on hunters to manage deer on their properties and limit crop losses, in turn providing hunters with opportunities to hunt and fill tags. It’s a mutually beneficial solution.
“We are thankful for the partnership between the agriculture and hunting communities to find beneficial solutions that allow farmers to better control the deer population and give hunters access to the sport,” said Pennsylvania Secretary of Agriculture Russell Redding. “It’s also important for us to remember that hunters play a pivotal role in providing lean protein through Hunters Sharing the Harvest. It’s our hope that new solutions for helping to control the deer population on agriculture lands will result in an increase in contributions of venison to Hunters Sharing the Harvest.”
