Nick Lowe and Los Straitjackets at Hartwood Acres; Roger Humphries and RH Factor Play Highland Park Reservoir of Jazz (Sun., 8/3/25)

1) As we’ve said before, crowds don’t lie. When people start bringing their lawn chairs in broad daylight to stake out spots for evening outdoor concerts, it’s because the music is free and the music is good. Such is the case with the Allegheny County Summer Concert Series, staged summer-long at two locations: Friday evenings, 7:30 p.m. at South Park Amphitheater, and Sunday evenings, 7:30 p.m. at Hartwood Acres Park Amphitheater. The lineup for the second half of this summer includes big-name acts in several genres. South Park has Over the Rhine (August 8), and Robert Jon & The Wreck (August 15). Highlights at Hartwood include, The Family Stone (July 20), Nick Lowe & Los Straitjackets (August 3), KT Tunstall (August 10), Smash Mouth (August 17) and Pittsburgh Ballet Theatre (August 24)  3700 Farmshow Dr., South Park Twp., and 4070 Middle Rd., Allison Park. (R.H.)

2) Notable Pittsburgh drummer Roger Humphries and RH Factor will be giving a free performance this evening at Pittsburgh Citiparks Reservoir of Jazz concert series at Highland Park. 5 – 7 p.m. Highland Ave. and Reservoir Dr.
