Weather Watch for June 3!

The weather for tonight will probably be fine and we expect that the concert will go on as scheduled.. The concert is on.

This animated look at the radar gives us confidence that we will have nice weather for tonight's show.

Sorry i missed the 4:15 update. The weather was so nice that we worked right through that time, and the stage is set. Jim Thorn (the fine fellow setting up the sound equipment) and I are feeling very fortunate, as a few small storms just passed us by. The forecast now calls for about 3 to 5 degrees warmer that my last post, as indicated in the image above.

The band will arrive for sound check at 6:00, and we will revisit the forecast, but don't anticipate another update. Expect it to be on, as planned.

If NOT, I'll post and send an email to the list. No news is good news from this point on. We hope to see you this evening!

The Hipsters

Friday, June 16

The Hipsters are collaboration -- a surprising harmony of two composers who rarely write together but somehow identify closely with each others songs. The Hipsters have been supported and inspired by like-minded musicians who have added to the sound, and helped deliver the content.

The Hipsters write metaphysical songs. The

Friday, June 16

The Hipsters write metaphysical songs. There is some of that peace and justice stuff, but it may surprise you. There is that search for the invisible, the other side, the over there, the eternal. It's religious.

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

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, as it's no longer safe to move the concerts indoors.
