Nashville-based duo The Daily Fare will kick off the new SSHH concert series at Puffers of Pismo. Local fave Maybe in Time opens the show at 6:30pm. Doors open to SSHH members at 5:30, general public at 6:00. Tickets are $10 general, $5 SSHH members. Puffers of Pismo, 781 Price St., Pismo Beach. 21+, (805) 773-6563.

SSHH (Singer-Songwriters Heard Here) is a Member-Supported Concert Series, produced by Songwriters at Play. The goal is to create an intimate, listening atmosphere, presenting performers of original music to appreciative audiences. More SSHH Concerts at Puffers are set for Oct. 19, Nov. 9 and 23. Details at https://songwritersatplay.com/events

Northern-born songwriters Alissa Abeler and Hannah Smith joined creative forces to form the duo now known as The Daily Fare. The pair grew up on opposite sides of the music world with influences ranging from Judy Garland and Adele to Beethoven and Bach, with a healthy dose of Broadway, punk cabaret, and 80s ballads sprinkled in the mix. Their shared affection for poignant and evocative narrative teamed with years of playing small intimate shows have transformed the once-placid duo’s sound into the story-weaving powerhouse they are today. With characteristically unique vocal harmonies and engaging instrumentation, The Daily Fare are carving out a niche for themselves within the Americana genre while their honest and occasionally eccentric approach to storytelling continues to engage new listeners on this creative journey.  Their sound has been compared to First Aid Kit, The Milk Carton Kids, and The Civil Wars. https://www.thedailyfaremusic.com/

Maybe in Time is the stage name of Mae Blonski, Central Coast ukulele player who writes "songs about anxiety and hope". Sample some at

For over 15 years, No Quarter has been pounding the Hammer of the Gods to Led Zeppelin Fans both nationally and internationally. This authentic live concert reproduction goes far beyond any group of musicians covering the same tunes you’ve heard on the radio for over four decades. Any musician can learn a song note for note. However, to do a full tribute with all the subtle nuances and authentic look and sound and mannerisms is comparable to an actor preparing for a character in a film. No Quarter captures the characters of John Bonham, John Paul Jones, Jimmy Page and Robert Plant and brings each individual member to the stage in their absolute prime. Die-hard Zeppelin fans and Rockstar’s they’ve shared the stage wit have sworn they were watching the real group live. If you’ve never seen the real Led Zeppelin in concert, or if you have and want to relive the magic, No Quarter is as close as it gets to capturing the iconic British rock group live.

Gates open early to give plenty of time to enjoy a glass or bottle of Rava's estate still and sparkling wines. Food will be available for purchase. 

Event Schedule:

6:00pm- Gates open with food and wine available for purchase

MIGHTY Beethoven

We continue our celebration of Beethoven’s 250th anniversary with perhaps his most iconic and popular work, the Symphony No. 5. From the famous opening four note motive he creates an amazing edifice of towering genius and power.

Symphony No. 1                                                Ludwig van Beethoven

Marimba Concerto (world premiere)                            Mutsuhito Ogino    John Astaire, soloist

Symphony No. 5                                                  Ludwig van Beethoven 

Join us at lovely and historic Mission San Miguel for this powerful Symphony of the Vines performance.

Based on the cult hit film of the same name, The Full Monty, a ten-time Tony Award nominee, is filled with honest affection, engaging melodies and the most highly anticipated closing number of any show.

While spying on their wives at a “Girls’ Night Out,” a group of unemployed steelworkers from Buffalo sees how much they enjoy watching male strippers. Jealous, out of work and feeling emasculated, the men come up with a bold and unclothed way to make some quick cash. In preparing, they find themselves extremely exposed; not merely physically but emotionally. As they conquer their fears, self-consciousness and prejudices, the men come to discover that they’re stronger as a group, and the strength that they find in each other gives them the individual courage to “let it go.”

The Full Monty is a story full of heart. Right to the end, audiences will be wondering if these lovable misfits will really pull it off. With a raucous mix of razor-sharp humor and toe-tapping pizzazz, this heartwarming, upbeat comedy is a must.

Jack Cimo, guitar

Local guitar virtuoso Jack Cimo collaborates with Symphony of the Vines string players for a variety of works, including the famous quintet for guitar and strings by Luigi Boccherini.

Enjoy award-winning Cass wines while luxuriating in the delightful timbres of classical music.
