Father Hennepin is a Duluth-based honkey-tonk band that has roots in Duluth’s Homegrown Music Festival (which first started to celebrate lead vocalist Scott Lunt’s birthday). Get ready for a fun night of dancing and swinging with Lunt, Susan Ludwig, Ted Anderson on guitar and vocals, Bob Olson on bass, Brad Nelson on drums, and Jimi Cooper on guitar.

Nat Harvie (they/them) is a producer, recordist, and performance artist currently based in Minneapolis, MN. Nat began their recording career at eighteen with the bygone Duluth label, Chaperone Records (Charlie Parr, Retribution Gospel Choir, Lion or Gazelle). After the dissolution of the label only a year later, Nat fell deep into the world of DIY recording and began to produce and release their own work independently, starting with their 2015 debut solo EP, Snow is a Gift to my Fear. Following this release, Nat formed their live outfit, Nat Harvie Trio, and quickly became a leading voice in the Duluth scene, garnering local and regional attention for their heartfelt songwriting, lush arrangements, and powerful live performances.

2025 is our 10th Anniversary of Concerts on the Pier, and we are celebrating by looking back at the past 9 years!

The event is free and open to the public from 5 to 8 pm. Gates open at 5 pm, however, for those interested, early access can be obtained by purchasing grounds admission or a tour. Each night, the opener will perform from 5:30-6 pm and the headliner will play from 6:30-8 pm.

At Concerts, guests can connect with neighbors and friends, play lawn games, grab some grub from a local food truck, enjoy a refreshing drink, eat locally-made ice cream, and take a seat by the shores of Lake Superior. Guests are encouraged to paddle or boat in to view the concert from the water or are welcome to bring their own lawn chairs and blankets to enjoy the show from the shore.

For each concert this year, Glensheen will also offer a free shuttle bus (with a suggested donation) between the UMD campus and Glensheen. Parking at UMD is free. More information can be found at https://glensheen.org/concerts/event-information/.
