Saddle up, partners — the open mic is going Western!

On September 2, we're rounding up the songs of the trail, the range, and the long ride home — cowboy ballads, outlaw anthems, campfire classics, and every dusty tune in between. And good news travels fast: the lineup's already full, so we've got a corral full of talent ready to ride.

Which means this one's all about you, the audience. Mosey on in, pour a glass, pull up a chair, and let a full roster of your neighbors play you into a fine evening in our comfy lounge. No cover, no fuss — just great music, good wine, and the best company in Cambria. 🍷

🕕 6:00–8:00 PM

The campfire's lit, the stage is warm, and the corral is full. Come be our audience! 🎸🌵

The Moonstone Express Made Its Run 🚂🎶

Last night the open mic rolled out of the station with a full head of steam — and most of the room climbed aboard the theme. Train songs, travel songs, and songs about the long road home carried us clear across the map, and not one passenger left disappointed.

Your Conductor got the train out of the station himself, opening the night with Jimmie Rodgers' "Waiting For A Train" — seemed only right to start a train night with the Singing Brakeman. From there, Jason Lopez took the throttle, with Stan Cooper keeping her rolling right behind him. Bruce Tallerman and Katharine Edmonson brought the parlor car — keyboard and harmony that settled the whole room in. Then it turned into a bit of a family operation: Judy Philbin with Garrett, then Garrett Philbin with Judy, trading the throttle back and forth the way only family can.

Kevin Byrne took his turn down the line, Bev Praver brought her always-welcome sound as the evening light came down, and just when the schedule looked full, Bob McCandless climbed aboard and reminded everyone that the best stops are sometimes the unscheduled ones. Brian Wright added percussion on several songs, and Victoria Roberts dropped by for a song.

And your Conductor — that's me, Rick Smith — kept things rolling between acts with a few train sounds along the way, just to make sure nobody forgot which line they were riding. 🚂 On the wires all night, keeping every voice clear and every signal green, Steve Finch on audio — the night sounds as good as it does because of him.

To everyone who drove this train, and everyone who filled the seats and kept their glasses full — thank you. Nights like this are why we keep the stage warm. And Andy Pickar, as always, kept the wine flowing with a smile. 🍷

The train theme was a hit, so we'll pull another themed night out of the roundhouse down the road — no promises yet, but you all clearly enjoy a good ride.

Next stop: we're back next Wednesday, August 19, for the last open mic of August.

The whistle's blowing. See you down the line. 🎸

🦁 What a night at Moonstone Cellars Open Mic!

Last night we traded the tasting room for the savanna — our first-ever Open Mic Safari — and the watering hole did not disappoint. The binoculars came out, the wildlife showed up, and every act that crossed that stage proved what we've always known: you never know what you'll spot at Moonstone.

Our safari roster of rare and remarkable creatures:

🎸 Theo Moreno
🎸 Clive Mettrick
🎸 Stan Cooper
🎸 Ellie Zacks
🎸 Bev Praver
🎸 Pat Pemberton
🎸 Bob McCandless

Leading the expedition with binoculars in hand: your safari guide, Rick Smith, who kept the whole adventure rolling from the first sighting to the last.

With a slightly smaller herd than expected, several of our musicians stretched out to three songs each — and not a soul in the room was complaining. More songs, more music, more magic.

The night ran on imagination — we started small, with red wagons and backyard creeks, and ended all the way out past Pluto with a little John Prine. In between, the audience listened like a field research team, and the performers rewarded every quiet moment.

Through it all, Andy Pickar kept the wine flowing — exactly what the wildlife needed — and Steve Finch made sure every note carried to the back of the room.

🚙 Everybody made it back to the Range Rover safe and sound — and the expedition continues!

Next open mic: Wednesday, August 12 — another adventure for all. Bring a song, bring a friend, bring your imagination.

🎶 Open Mic Night — July 29 🎶

Last night at Moonstone Cellars was a real hit! A few fewer musicians than usual, but everyone carried their weight and the night came together beautifully.

Rick Smith was our head sherpa, guiding the crowd up the musical mountain and safely back down. Andy Pickar poured as wine steward, and Steve Finch kept the audio on track all night.

The usual suspects turned out — Jason Lopez, Stanley Cooper, Bev Praver, Ellie Zacks, Pat Pemberton, and Wendy Wright. And we were thrilled to welcome Clive Mettrick, a longtime listener who stepped up to the mic for the very first time. Cheers to first-timers — that's the best part of a night like this! 👏

We nearly wrapped early, so Jason and Ellie gave us a duet and Bev added one more, carrying us right to a perfect 8:00 finish.

🦁 Next up: Wednesday, August 5 — and word is our fearless emcee is trading his climbing rope for a pith helmet and a pair of binoculars. The mountain's behind us; next time we go on a musical safari. Come see what we spot at the watering hole!

Open Mic Night, July 29

July's almost gone, and the fog's been doing its usual thing — which makes a warm room with a microphone in it sound about right. Wednesday nights are when this town shows off its homegrown talent, and there's always room for one more voice.

Join us Wednesday, July 29, for Open Mic Night in the heart of Cambria. Whether you're bringing a guitar, a song, or just a thirst for good wine and better company, you belong here. Andy Pickar will be pouring delicious wine by the glass or bottle.

Last Night, the Dead Came to Moonstone Cellars 🌹⚡

Every so often, an open mic stops being an open mic.

Last night, our musicians got together and did something special: an entire evening dedicated to the music of the Grateful Dead. And what happened in that lounge wasn't a typical Wednesday night — it was a concert. A tribute show. One of those rare nights where a room full of separate performers somehow becomes a single band, and a room full of listeners becomes a family.

And what a band it was. Guitars, sure — but also conga drums, a cajón, spoons, harmonica, a Seagull Merlin, and an arsenal of noisemakers, all finding their way into the mix. Brian Wright even got off his cajón (pun intended) to play guitar on a few songs. At times the whole lounge was the rhythm section.

If the Dead taught us anything, it's that the music belongs to everyone in the room — and last night, everyone in the room played their part.

Song after song — the ballads, the sing-alongs, the deep cuts — the music never stopped, and neither did the smiles. I've hosted this stage, and I've watched a lot of audiences, and I have honestly never seen so many people grinning at once. The lounge was full, the wine was flowing, and for a few hours, everybody was a Deadhead.

Holding it all together (barely, and happily): Rick Smith as your wide-eyed emcee, watching his open mic get lovingly hijacked in real time; Andy Pickar, who kept the wine flowing all night; and Steve Finch on audio, making a lounge full of congas, spoons, and noisemakers sound like it was always meant to be that way.

To every musician who played a part in making it happen: thank you. You didn't just cover the songs — you caught the spirit of them, the thing that's kept this music alive for sixty years. And to everyone who filled the room, sang along, and stayed to the last note: you were the other half of the show.

What a long, strange, absolutely wonderful trip it was.

See you at the next open mic. It’s on July 29. Bring a friend — you never know what this crew will do next. 🎸✌️
