Fort Wayne, Indiana (June 1, 2021) \u2013 The Embassy is pleased to begin the sixth annual Summer Nights at the Embassy series tomorrow Wednesday, June 2 with the Hubie Ashcraft Trio.

Hubie Ashcraft of Fort Wayne is a singer, songwriter, guitarist and entertainer. Ashcraft is widely known for playing energetic live shows that include elements of rock, Americana and country, all infused with pop sensibilities, authentic lyrics and soul.

The featured food partner this week will be The Hoppy Gnome. Mad Anthony Brewing returns as the Microbrew Sponsor. A cash bar and concessions are available as well.
