Harrisburg University Presents will welcome rock-and-soul heavyweights Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats with special guest HISS Golden Messenger to Harrisburg’s Riverfront Park on Sept. 20, 2022.
Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats have become one of the most recognizable new forces in contemporary rock’n’roll in less than five years. Since 2015, Rateliff has led his denim-clad, horn-flanked Night Sweats, supplying the zeal of a whiskey chugging Pentecostal preacher to songs about this world’s shared woes.
They’ve had hits, sure, but their combustible mix of soul and rock quickly cemented them as the rare generational band who balanced ecstatic live shows with engrossing and rich records. HISS Golden Messenger will open the show with its blend of indie folk, blues, alternative country, country rock, and jazz.
“We are excited to add a high-energy band like Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats to the HU Presents Summer Concert Series lineup,” said University President Dr. Eric Darr. “We look forward to welcoming the community to Riverfront Park this summer for great music in a beautiful, outdoor setting.”
The Nathaniel Rateliff & The Night Sweats concert is the seventh HU Presents Summer Concert Series show announced this year at Riverfront Park in partnership with Dauphin County, the City of Harrisburg, Clair Global, PNC Bank, and Troegs Independent Brewing.
