Mt. Joy
For fans of live music, a few more concerts have just been announced in Harrisburg.
Harrisburg University Presents shared on Tuesday that indie-rock band Mt. Joy will perform in Riverfront Park on Sept. 16, as part of the 2023 Summer Concert Series.
Earlier this year, HU Presents announced that hip-hop band The Roots, rockers Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit and indie band The Head and the Heart would hit the Riverfront stage, as well.
Mt. Joy, which has roots in Philadelphia, released its first self-titled album in 2018. Their most recent, third album, “Orange Blood,” came out in 2022. Mt. Joy has amassed more than half-a-billion music streams and earned acclaim from NPR, Billboard, Rolling Stone, The Line of Best Fit and more.
The band has toured with The Lumineers, Rainbow Kitten Surprise, The Revivalists and The Head and The Heart, and has performed on the Stephen Colbert, CBS Morning and Jimmy Kimmel TV talk shows. The band also performed at Gov. Josh Shapiro’s 2023 inaugural ball.
Tickets for the show will go on sale to the public on April 21.
HU Presents also recently announced several other upcoming concerts.
On June 2, The Record Company, a Grammy-nominated rock band, will perform at XL Live in Harrisburg. The California-based group started in 2011 and released its third album, “Play Loud,” in 2021.
Also coming to XL Live is country artist Orville Peck on July 28. Peck is known for keeping his identity hidden and wearing a signature, fringed mask during performances. He released his most recent album, “Bronco,” in 2022.
Lovelytheband is also headed to XL Live on June 27. The indie-pop band will be joined by special guest, Beach Weather.
