About Honey Pie

Sam Christensen

As described on the Shy Bear website,

"Honey Pie" is Sam Christensen on vocals and guitar, Molly Countermine on vocals, keys, percussion, and guitar, and Rene Witzke on bass...and occasional percussion.

Their music is a mix of rock, pop, Americana, and roots music, with a few originals thrown in, all steeped in tons of harmonies and lots of enthusiastic energy!"

Sam Christensen

Sam Christensen is a solo, masterful acoustic and electric guitarist (think David Gilmour crossed with Jimi Hendrix) with a tenor lead vocal influenced by Crosby, Stills and Nash and Fleet Foxes. You may have seen him play locally in Lord Forrest, Carpetland Flux Collective and Midstate Select.

Molly Countermine

Molly Countermine joined forces with Ted McCloskey in 2000, forming "Ted & Molly," one of the area's favorite bands. Molly was also a founding member of "Pure Cane Sugar" in 2007, and Molly continues to perform weekly with Ted, her husband Rene, and drummer Daryl Branford with Ted and the Hi-Fi’s. Molly is a Teaching Professor in Human Development and Family Studies at Penn State, and she and Rene have 3 children.

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.

"Old School" Directions

In case you are not a GPS or Google Maps or MapQuest user, here's a set of directions you can use to make your way.

Directions to Kyle Peck and Catherine Augustine's Home at:

211 Moondance Lane

Port Matilda, PA 16870

(from Penn State University)

TAKE ATHERTON (322 Business) OR THE 322 BYPASS WEST OUT OF STATE COLLEGE TOWARD PORT MATILDA.
Stay in the right lane, as if you were heading for Altoona.Follow signs to Gray's Woods / Waddle and go downhill past Curve Hill Road which breaks off to the right.
TURN RIGHT ON STEVENSON ROAD, which is almost at the bottom of the hill.
Take Stevenson Road, through the tiny community of "Waddle," until it ends in a "T" intersection with "Buffalo Run Road" (also known as route 550).
TURN RIGHT ON BUFFALO RUN ROAD (RTE 550).
The first intersection will be Lower Julian Pike.
TURN RIGHT ON LOWER JULIAN PIKE.
After passing five houses on the right, you'll see three black mailboxes and a gravel road with a sign that says "Moondance Lane."

The road branches twice.
- Go right at the first fork
- Go left at the second. (We're at the top of the hill.)
If you see cars parked on the road, the parking beyond that point is probably limited, so you may want to stop and park where you can.
