The Brothers Osborne, a duo set to perform in HU Presents’ concert series on Aug. 18.

Harrisburg University Presents today announced an addition to its summer concert lineup, just as the outdoors stage is being built for the season’s first shows this weekend.

Country music duo Brothers Osborne will perform in Harrisburg’s Riverfront Park on Sunday, Aug. 18 at 8 p.m., featuring TJ Osborne and John Osborne, who have been writing and performing together for all their lives.

The pair are the reigning Country Music Association (CMA) and Academy of Country Music (ACM) “Duo of the Year” winners, known for a progressive yet still classic style of country music. Tickets go on sale on Friday.

Coincidentally, HU this week is busily getting ready for its first weekend of music in its 2024 Summer Series.

The first concert, on Friday, June 21 at 8 p.m., will feature country music by Jenny Lewis, the award-winning singer-songwriter. The concert, part of her Joy’all tour, will also feature special guest Dean Johnson.

Fleet Foxes, an American indie folk band from Seattle led by lead singer-songwriter Robin Pecknold, will perform on Sunday, June 23 at 8 p.m.

Psychedelic soul band Black Pumas, led by Eric Burton and Adrian Quesada, will take the stage on Thursday, July 25 at 8 p.m. HU Presents’ website describes the group as “one of the most electrifying new acts to emerge in recent years.”

A concert on Sunday, July 28 at 8 p.m. will feature country singer-songwriter Orville Peck, who is known for his strong musicianship, storytelling songwriting style and signature mask he is never seen without.

“We’re excited to be back in Riverfront Park for a fifth year to share more incredible live music experiences with the region,” said Frank Schofield, director of live entertainment at Harrisburg University. “This year’s lineup will not disappoint. We can’t wait to kick things off with Jenny Lewis and Fleet Foxes. Black Pumas are back in July – this time on the Riverfront Park stage – and we’re thrilled to have Orville Peck refreshed for this new tour.”
