Summer Concert Series: Palmyra

Sponsored by The Short Family and now in its fifth season and better than ever, the Summer Concert Series features nationally rising artists, some of Pittsburgh’s favorite bands, a waterfront stage, expanded food and drink options, and unbeatable views… for FREE! Food & beer is available at 5pm, shows start at 7pm. We encourage walking, carpooling, or using Uber whenever possible because our parking is limited. Indulge in delicious food options from various food trucks available for purchase. Our concerts are family-friendly and go on rain or shine!

Rising Virginia trio Palmyra has roots in the South, their music steeped in the sounds of traditional instruments and shaped by their time there, but their spirit defies easy categorization. Palmyra is a band that confronts complex topics. Their songs, which shift from folk to post-rock and even flirt with emo, reflect a band unafraid to push boundaries. In this way, Palmyra joins the ranks of Southern acts like Julien Baker, Band of Horses, and Cat Power—artists who’ve redefined what it means to come from the South, offering a sound that’s as expansive and evolving as the region itself. In 2024, Palmyra submitted their track “Shape I’m In’ to NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert, which led NPR to name them one of their ‘Best New Artists’.
