Hillsboro will be having a "Farm Party" at the 2013 Festival of the Bells, as it was announced Tuesday that The Farm Inc. will be the Friday night concert headliners for this year's event on July 5.
The Farm joins Dustin Lynch, who will perform on Saturday, July 6, as previously reported in The Highland County Press.
The band, made up of vocalists Nick Hoffman (who also plays fiddle), Damien Horne and Krista Marie, was founded in 2010. The Farm's debut album "The Farm," released in 2012, includes the hits "Be Grateful," "Farm Party" and "Home Sweet Home."
"'Be Grateful' is a song I personally really, really like, and 'Home Sweet Home' got in the top 10 last year," Festival of the Bells committee member and entertainment chairman Rick Williams said.
The band's website, thefarmmusic.com, describes their music as incorporating "unique harmonies and multi-layered influences."

"Nick was a country traditionalist, Krista was a former solo vocalist with a background in opera and standards, and Damien had first moved to Nashville with an alternative-rock band and ended up opening concerts for R&B artist John Legend," the website states.
The three met together to write music, which they based around Hoffman's fiddle instead of a guitar, and The Farm's website says that "once they launched into the 'Home Sweet Home' chorus, the three voices fell into place with an unexpected, other-worldly sound."
The Festival of the Bells has a history of welcoming rising country music stars, including Taylor Swift, Lady Antebellum, The Band Perry, Rascal Flatts and Brad Paisley.
"They're very energetic, and they're tremendous entertainers," Williams said. "They may be the best energetic group ever to come to Hillsboro.
"We're happy to have them, and they are good young entertainers coming to Hillsboro."
The 2013 Festival of the Bells will be July 4-6 in uptown Hillsboro.
