Judson Mantz is one of my favorite singer/songwriters. Not just local singer/songwriters, I'm including all singer songwriters. He's a bright, deep, articulate, feeling individual, and an impressive artist. Jud's music is the culmination of more than 30 years of creation. It spans solo work and his work with bands including 3-D Betty and August Room.
August Room is composed of long time friends and long time collaborators Judson Mantz (guitar and vocals), Lynn Chaplin (bass), John Lynch (percussion), Liz Grove (keyboards), and Steve Christensen (lead guitar). They enjoy playing together and always put on a great show.
You may also know Liz, Steve, and John from their shows with local superband "Cone of Silence," and you may recognize Liz and Steve as the proprietors of Pine Grove Hall (PGH), which is, in my opinion, the top location to see local talent and songwriters, and a great place to see traveling bands "up close and personal." (Moonstock is the best place for live music "in the greater Waddle Metropolitan area," but PGH takes the trophy if you cast the net wider.
This year is the TEN YEAR ANNIVERSARY of August Room's CD "Raucous Polyglot." and Judson has made it a free download. [CLICK HERE TO GO TO THE DOWNLOAD PAGE] I have been playing it as I drive around for the last few weeks, and I'm loving it. The songs are great, the musicianship is outstanding, and the quality of the production is first rate!

Eric Ian Farmer was our first house concert performer, ever. He performed in the pergola, to a small group of family and friends, before he had made the commitment to make music his career. He was inspiring and impressive even then. Since that time he has developed in many ways, to become the fine musician, song writer, vocalist, and human being we see today.
When he performs in larger venues he often surrounds himself with talented friends. For our 2024 season, Eric will be accompanied by Mickey Klein on electric bass and Urie Klein on percussion/drums.
You may have seen Eric and friends at the Tavern, Shaver’s Creek, the Gamble Mill, Karma, the Arts Festival, or the People’s Choice Festival or even in other cities in central PA.
For those of you who remember Woodstock, Eric reminds me of a young Richie Havens. Join us for a night of great tunes and important social messages, and leave a better person for the experience.
In addition to the four videos and many images that can be found on our Moonstock page about Eric, you can learn more on Eric's website, "vocallygrown.com".

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.
we will need to reschedule or relocate. Check this home page for up to date information on the status of a concert.
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.
Can't beat an outdoor concert on a rain-free summer evening.

There are three homes on Moondance Lane, and Google hasn't figured us out quite yet. Our home is the one AT THE TOP OF THE HILL, so as you drive up Moondance Lane, take the uphill path at each of the two forks. (That's right at the first fork, then left at the second fork.)
If you get lost, call Kyle's cell phone number, 814-404-1313, and hope he can hear you over the music. (-:
