Manitou Springs Library Lawn Concert Series - Jeremy Facknitzat Manitou Springs Library

The Pikes Peak Library District is proud to present the 2026 Manitou Springs Library Lawn Concert Series! Concerts will be on Wednesdays from 6 - 7:30 p.m., starting June 3 and ending July 22. This season's concert series will be held outdoors on the lawn to the north of the Manitou Springs Carnegie Library. Bring your lawn chairs or blankets and enjoy the music of this summer concert series.This seventh concert of the series features the music of Jeremy Facknitz. From his website:Jeremy Facknitz has been delighting audiences with his unique brand of high-energy theatrical folk-rock-jazz for nearly 30 years. His band "The Ottomans" topped Hall of Fame rockers "The White Stripes" for Best New Alternative Band at the Detroit Music Awards in 2001. He's a three-time finalist in the prestigious Kerrville Folk Festival New Folk Songwriting Competition and he has successfully made performing his "day-job" for over a decade touring Canada, the U.S., and soon the U.K. and beyond. Heavily influenced by the varied and rich sounds of Ben Folds, Billy Joel, Elvis Costello, James Taylor and the like, Jeremy's music is a throwback to when singer-songwriters weren't afraid to turn it up, look you in the eye, and play more than the same tired four chords...embodying the soul of an old-time troubadour, bitten by a radioactive rockstar. ��Find out more about Jeremy on his website. In case of inclement weather, concerts will be cancelled, with announcements on ppld.org.
