HU Presents announces indie, country artists bringing summer concerts to Harrisburg

Jenny Lewis

Harrisburg’s summer concert lineup is filling up as two shows bringing indie and country music to the city were just announced. 

On Tuesday, Harrisburg University Presents shared that singer-songwriter Jenny Lewis would take to the stage, along with country artist Charley Crockett, this summer. 

The newly announced concerts join several others that HU has recently publicized, including soul band Black Pumas and American musician Matt Kearney.  

Lewis will perform in Riverfront Park as part of HU’s Summer Concert Series on June 21 at 8 p.m. 

The artist, who has had a more than 20-year music career, released her fifth solo album, “Joy’All,” in 2023, which draws inspiration from soul to ‘90s R&B to country and classic singer-songwriter records. 

Lewis has performed on NPR Music’s Tiny Desk and as a special guest for Harry Styles’ Love On Tour.  

Additionally, Crockett will perform at XL Live on July 13 at 8 p.m. 

Charley Crockett

The singer’s music combines sounds from country, blues, soul, Cajun, R&B and other parts of American Roots music. According to Rolling Stone, he is a “must-see live performer” and a “force to be reckoned with,” according to CMT. 

Crockett’s upcoming album, “$10 Cowboy” is slated to drop on April 26.  

His new music will follow his previous album, “The Man From Waco,” which Rolling Stone named the second-best Country album of the year in 2022. 

Tickets for Jenny Lewis and Charley Crockett will go on sale to the public on March 15.
