Summer of the Arts

July 16, 2024

Hello Lisa,


It's hard to believe we're half way through our season! That means you've had the opportunity to join other community members and visitors at free events for the past 10 weeks!


We hope you're enjoying all of the music and fun this summer. Just remember that although we don't charge admission, these events aren't free to produce and Summer of the Arts is a nonprofit charity so we appreciate any support you can provide.



Thank you for being a part of Summer of the Arts! Remember you can make a tax deductible donation any time to support our community-wide programming. Click HERE to make a donation today. You can also give through Venmo: @SOTAIC.

Charlotte Blu AND Natural Habits

Sponsored by McGrath Toyota of Iowa City

Downtown Iowa City Ped Mall

Charlotte Blu is a talented singer-songwriter who has captivated audiences with her soulful vocals and heartfelt lyrics. Born and raised in a small town in the Midwest, Charlotte’s love for music began at a young age when she started playing guitar and singing in church.


In 2022, Charlotte released her debut EP, “The Colors of You” which showcased her songwriting skills and powerful vocals. Charlotte is currently working on new material and working with other talented artists. In addition to her music career, Charlotte is also an advocate for mental health awareness in women and young people.


Time: 6:30 PM

Natural Habits is self-defined as "original midwestern roots rock" - not quite country, not quite pop, not quite rock and roll. Fronted by singer/songwriter Nikki Lunden Trotter, this band brings your mind and heart to full attention with personal and complex songs of love, addiction, recovery and even gets political at times.


Natural Habits consists of Nikki Lunden Trotter (The Trollies, Heinous Canis, Lunden Reign), Seth "Puma" Koenig on drums (The Trollies, Heinous Canis, Lunatics on Pogosticks), Adam Grosso on bass (The Trollies, Euforquestra, Jumbies), Dave Helmer on guitar (Crystal City, Dave Helmer Band) and the one and only Smudge on hand percussion.


Time: 7:30 PM
