About Richard Sleigh
A biography of Richard, by customharmonicas.com reports “Richard Sleigh has been exploring American Roots Music and the harmonica from the inside out for over 40 years. His latest adventures include being a featured soloist with the Wooster Symphony Orchestra and Paquito D’Rivera, playing and teaching blues harmonica in Clarkesdale Mississippi, opening as a solo act for the Marshall Tucker Band and Nancy Griffith. Over the years he has also appeared with Taj Mahal, Bo Diddley, Maria Muldaur, and many others, performed and given harmonica workshops here and abroad."
Richard has been called one of the "Harmonica Geeks that Saved the Soul of the Blues Harp." He loves and lives music, and he shares his skills, knowledge, and passion with scores of followers who benefit from the perspectives he shares on his blog and listserv about music and living.
We are very fortunate to have Richard on the planet, not just as a performer, but as a model of what introspection and reflection can do.

Covid 19 Precautions at Moonstock
Our COVID-related Expectations
Outdoor Concerts are among the safest social activities, but we realize the seriousness of COVID 19 and recommend that you follow guidance offered by the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) at the time of each concert.
Thanks to the generosity of New Pig and Daniel Silver (keyboard player for RIFF), a New Pig hand sanitizer station has been donated to support our concerts again this year. It will be located in the pergola, near the refreshment/merchandise table.
About Our Summer Concerts
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, as it's no longer safe to move the concerts indoors.
