Line-Up Announced For Summer: Two Shows In One Night Curated by Harmony Presents

This summer, The Hawley Silk Mill’s underground theater will feature two concerts showcasing the same performers in one night as curated by Harmony Presents. “We’re bringing back our heavy-hitters; performers who have previously enchanted our audiences, had full crowds during the off-season and represent the wide variety of musical taste in the region from spirit lifting Folk-Americana to the hottest electronic jam band fusion. We’re also showcasing two new bands to our roster, who have significant notoriety in the North East ,” says Jill Carletti, Managing Director of Harmony Presents. “This past year, many of our shows were sold out with wait lists. Of course, this is good news, but we want everyone who would like to see our shows to be able to get in and enjoy the experience. We know it’s just going to get busier for the summer season, so this is our solution.”

The first show of the night will begin at 6:00pm and the second show will begin at 8:30pm. Exception: The Nat Osborn Band’s first show of the night will begin at 6:30pm and the second show will begin at 8:30pm. The Harmony Presents “Two-Shows-In-One-Night” schedule follows:
