Harrisburg University Presents has beefed up its lineup of summer shows in Riverfront Park, which now includes a concert by Phish co-founder Trey Anastasio.
On Tuesday, HU Presents said that the long-time Phish guitarist will close out its 2023 Summer Series on Sept. 17, backed by his band, Classic TAB, which features drummer Russ Lawton, bassist Tony Markellis, keyboardist Ray Paczkowski, and percussionist Cyro Baptista, augmented by a full horn section.
Also on Tuesday, HU Presents announced that, due to “massive demand,” South African-born country musician Orville Peck, originally slated to play XL Live, is moving his concert to the outdoors stage in Riverfront Park. That show, also featuring special guests Gold Star and Nikki Lane, is slated for July 28.
HU Presents began mounting concerts in Riverfront Park in 2019. After a pandemic-induced hiatus, it brought music back to the Shipoke stage in 2021, with the count now up to six shows for the summer months.
Other artists in the 2023 Summer Series include Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit on July 26, The Roots on July 29, The Head And The Heart on Aug. 26, and Mt. Joy on Sept. 16.
Harrisburg University Presents 2023 Summer Concert Series is supported by Dauphin County, Tröegs Independent Brewing, PSECU, and Comprehensive Financial Services. Other sponsors include Enders Insurance, Pennsylvania Game Commission, Visit Hershey Harrisburg, and GIANT.
Ticket sales for Trey Anastasio and Classic TAB begin June 16. For more information on all HU Presents shows, visit their website.
