About The Hipsters (In their own words)

The Hipsters are not young. They claim to "have a foot in the 60s, an orphaning in the 70s, a resume in the 80s, a steeping in the 90s, and maybe a cheerful vengeance in the new millennium," and they are happy to share it all with you.

The Hipsters played professionally with moments of glory and embarrassment for about 8 years. They have performed reunion shows since then. A very short time after its founding, the band’s goal was to play thoughtful, social, spiritual, all-original music. They were delighted to find a group of listeners to gather to hear, dance to and participate in the songs. Rock stardom was probably never an issue. We were too weird. Artistic success could be sweet, though, and they had some of it. The Hipsters are about songs over celebrity, substance over style, broad identity over the narrow niche, and are situated where music meets words. They hope ideas can change the world.

About Our Summer Concerts

Phot of people sitting on a fied watching a concert on the outdoor stage.

Come Join Us!

Our home at 211 Moondance Lane is only about 15 minutes from downtown State College. Don't be misled by the Port Matilda address.

For guests with mobility issues, we can reserve parking. We have modified the road down to the stage, so on nights with outdoor concerts we can allow a few cars to drive down, drop passengers, and park on the edge of the woods. Call Kyle at 814-404-1313 to make arrangements for people with mobility issues.

The Basic Info

Outdoor House Concerts - (We will no longer move inside if weather looks bad. We'll reschedule instead.)
Fun people and their friends and families (who are almost always fun people, too), and well behaved dogs (on a leash).
Consider bringing a folding chair or blanket (optional), wear comfortable shoes, and be prepared to walk a bit, as the driveway gets crowded and the concerts are held in a field behind the house which is on a hilltop.

If it's raining or threatening to rain...

we will need to reschedule or relocate. Check this home page for up to date information on the status of a concert.
