Harmony in the Woods has returning favorites, new performers in summer 2024 lineup
Harmony in the Woods, an outdoor amphitheater in the Hawley/Lake Wallenpaupack region of the northern Poconos, has announced its fourth season lineup for 2024.
In a press release, Harmony in the Woods' Creative Director Jill Carletti detailed the 2024 season, featuring artists she scheduled over the winter. New performances include the Southern blues soul singer Eddie 9V; country singer Tyler Reese Tritt, daughter of country legend Travis Tritt; and the French/American singer Laura Anglade.
Others who have been popular with Harmony audiences are returning, like Sean Altman & Jack Skuller with their tribute concert, “Forever Simon and Garfunkel.” Other returning musicians she listed include the Latin fusion band De Tierra Caliente, and the boogie woogie pianist and Billy Joel song stylist Wade Preston.

The fourth season includes bluegrass, country, Broadway, and world music.
"We try to be as diverse as our audiences' varied styles and interests, while introducing new and exciting performing artists," Carletti stated in the release. "We are a performing arts organization for everyone.”
Carletti said that Harmony is seeking concert sponsors and donors to support the Foundation for Harmony Presents, a charitable 501(c)(3) organization. Ticket sales cover only half of expenses, she stated. Donations of $250 or more receive early ticket access. Harmony also welcomes volunteers.
General seating is first-come, first-served. A pre-set folding captain’s chair is included in the ticket price. Bug spray, layers of clothing for cool evenings and plenty of snacks and beverages are recommended. Golf carts transport visitors from the parking lot.
Shows begin at 6 p.m. unless otherwise noted, and doors open 45 minutes before.
