About Kelpful

We’re a small worker owned cooperative run by women who began with a dream of farming seaweed. We say “This is What Climate Resilience Tastes Like” because seaweed embodies the qualities of a climate resilient resource- it is abundant, renewable, fast growing, and needs no fresh water or fertilizer to grow. Seaweed also sequesters carbon and nitrogen, improving the marine ecosystems where it grows! Collectively, our team has spent decades harvesting and using seaweed in our daily lives. This curriculum has taken years to develop which places high priority on the mindful, responsible harvesting methods that we use. We want everyone to enjoy and immerse themselves in seaweed and become stewards of these extremely special places. We put the ocean first in everything we do. It is with great honor, privilege and gratitude that we offer the experiences we do in order to grow our mindful seaweed foraging community.

Seaweed Foraging Adventures
1.5 hours Cayucos, CA

• Seaweed History & Identification 
• Mindful & Ethical Harvesting Methods
• At Home Processing and Recipes for daily life (self care & food) 
• Family Friendly

California’s Central Coast is a sacred place that provides us with beauty, sustenance and fulfillment beyond measure. There are over 20,000 species of algae (seaweed) which grow incredibly fast and are more nutrient dense than most terrestrial plants. As we take you into the beautiful intertidal zone, we will show you how to identify and sustainably harvest some of our favorite varieties of seaweed. If you’re lucky, we may even find some very unique species that have flavor profiles similar to truffles and shallots. Some species, like nori, you may already be familiar with and surprised to find growing abundantly here in California! Along the way, we will point out marine life we come across regularly like octopus, crabs, anemones, nudibranchs, seal lions, otters, and more. After our harvest, we will ereview best processing methods while taking in the breathtaking scenery of the Central Coast! We hope to leave you with a new appreciation for seaweed and the knowledge to responsibly enjoy the fruits of the intertidal zone.

*Please be advised there is a chance this adventure may be canceled or rescheduled due to rain, and harvesting seaweed to take home may not be possible at the time of the adventure due to water quality concerns after major rain events. If we need to cancel we will send you a link to reschedule or refund to a gift certificate to reschedule when you're ready.

Please be aware this experience is not​​​​​​​ ADA accessible and requires guests to be able to walk on trails and maneuver on rocks in the tide pools.

Forever Sevenfold

Paying homage to one of the more successful and accessible metal-core outfits of the early 21st century, FoREVer Sevenfold is not only a musical tribute, but an Avenged Sevenfold experience. Based out of their hometowns in Los Angeles, they have built an authentic representation of what Avenged Sevenfold has meant to fans and they are eager to share it with the world. In the summer of 2022, a group of longtime friends and A7X fans gathered after years of being on their our own musical endeavors to share the stage collectively. 

Formed from their admiration and love for Avenged Sevenfold, their vision was clear: to be the first and only Avenged Sevenfold Tribute in the USA. With big shoes to fill, every-time they step on the stage they honor the vision and legacy of Avenged Sevenfold.

Okapi is an Asheville, NC-based duo composed of Scott Mitchell Gorski (Upright Bass, Voice) and Lindsey Paige Miller (Cello). Hailing from differing musical backgrounds but sharing a passion for unique approaches to songwriting, craftsmanship, and structure, they began formulating candid, cathartic, and intentionally intricate orchestrations rooted in honesty and rawness. With evocative works abundant with lyrical paintings, they present ideas both intimately and aggressively, which challenge perceptions that stimulate universal confrontations with our absurd reality, while also promoting consciousness, healthy growth, and individual empowerment. They’ve toured nationally, performed as part of many festivals including the experimental Big Ears Festival, and have been featured in The Wire as part of their staff-curated CD compilation, "The Wire Tapper".

The Stews - Live at the Libertine!

Rare West Coast Tour Stop - Do not miss! 

Only $10 • 18+

Weds 9/25 • 8:00PM

After releasing their debut album, What Was, in April of 2022, The Stews have been a non-stop touring machine. Playing hundreds of shows a year has allowed them to hone in their musical and songwriting skills alike. With 2023 summer tour sellouts ranging from Washington DC’s 9:30 Club, Charleston’s Windjammer, New York City’s Bowery Ballroom, and countless more, The Stews have proven that they are a musical force to be reckoned with. The summer tour even featured a venue record-breaking 800+ day-of-show tickets sold at Avondale Brewing in Birmingham, AL.

In addition to the aforementioned legendary venues, The Stews played to packed out, ravenous crowds at Bonnaroo, Sweetwater 420Fest, and Roosterwalk. The band drove straight from their summer tour finale at Appleton, Wisconsin’s Mile of Music to meet up with Moon Taxi to support their fall tour. After months on the roading supporting Moon Taxi, the band returned home to Charleston, SC to finish up their second studio album. With thousands of tickets sold across a three night NYE run in Charlotte, Savannah, and Atlanta, the band capped off a record breaking year.

Looking forward to 2024, The Stews are thrilled to release this new music to a starving audience. The album can’t be confined to one genre, as fans will find songs reminiscent of The Allman Brothers, Audioslave, Pink Floyd, and Rainbow Kitten Surprise to name a few.

Bill MacKay celebrates release of his new record Locust Land with tour. 

Bill MacKay is a guitarist, composer, singer and improviser based in Chicago. A renowned solo artist and accomplished collaborator with projects that include solo albums Esker (2017), Fountain Fire (2019) and Locust Land (2024), and recordings with cellist Katinka Kleijn (Stir, 2019), Nathan Bowles (Keys, 2021), and Ryley Walker (SpiderBeetleBee, 2019), all released on Drag City Records, MacKay has pursued his musical investigations with obsessive rigor.

 MacKay is also a poet, visual artist and polyglot, and is a member of both the avant-garde rock outfit Black Duck (with Douglas McCombs) and the experimental groove-drone project BCMC (with Cooper Crain). Among other publications, his work has received praise in the Chicago Reader, New York Times, Mojo, Uncut, Downbeat, Paste, Pitchfork, and NPR.

This show celebrates the release of his latest solo record Locust Land (Drag City, 2024), an album that showcases his most profound song-cycle yet, and forms the basis of his current tour.

The times seem to be a little shakey, but we have been here before. It's time for a revival of sorts! Come join us at the original Harry Miller Ranch, aka Lake Enchanto and now the Peter Strauss Ranch. We will step back in time with ole' Harry Miller himself, explore the history of this storied ranch and discuss his amazing accomplishments. All while sharing some time under the tree lined skies and raising our spirits with the energy of The Eagle Rock Gospel Singers and very special guest Francis Blume

Peter Strauss Ranch
Saturday October 5th at 5pm

This is a paid ticketed event. Click on "Get Tickets" link above for more details!

The Eagle Rock Gospel Singers began as a collective of friends getting together in the summer of 2010. A choir of up to 15 revived the old Gospel spirit with songs like "I Shall Not Be Moved", "12 Gates", and "In My Time of Dying". Slowly they evolved into a band of 5, committed to embracing the richness found in early 20th century recordings. Influenced by past Gospel muscicians such as The Dixie Hummingbirds, Washington Phillips and Sister Rosetta Tharpe as well as current bands like The Black Keys, Wilco, and Calexico, the band creates a unique style drawing from rhythm and blues, indie folk and rock.

Francis Blume's interpretation of love and longing on his album "Lado De Loma" sits somewhere between Roy Orbison and Eddie Cochran (with a touch of Elvis) circa 1955 to 1965.

Ned Newley doesn’t even want to be Governor. He’s terrified of public speaking; his poll numbers are impressively bad. To his ever-supportive chief of staff, Ned seems destined to fail. But Political Consultant Arthur Vance sees things differently: Ned might be the worst candidate to ever run for office. Unless the public is looking for … the worst candidate to ever run for office. A timely and hilarious comedy that skewers politics and celebrates democracy.

Dine, drink, dance and enjoy with us on October 12th, to help us reach our goal of $50,000 and protect this critical Central Coast western monarch habitat!

It’s an epic journey like nothing you’ve ever seen!  The Surface Walkers is a Sci-Fi Rock Opera, a psychedelic rock audio-visual theatrical experience, created right here in Morro Bay.  

You’ll journey with us through a futuristic tale of love, war, betrayal and redemption, as our band performs 2 acts of 100% original rock music, with influences of funk, progressive rock, metal and electronic dance music, flooding your senses with visual art and immersive soundscapes.  You’ll dance, laugh, cry and even howl like a wolf as we take you into a radioactive future imprisoned in bio domes, where an exiled young woman must join an evolved tribe of superhumans - living inside of Mt. Shasta - to save the Earth from the global elite…and gets a little help from ancient aliens, some magical mushrooms, and a mysterious pack of wolves.

The Surface Walkers is a night to remember, a time warp into another dimension, an evolving cult classic that will send you home singing new songs and vibed up to put down your phone and go save the planet!

Carbon City Lights is an indie alternative rock band based in San Luis Obispo, California. Lead singer, Michael Venia, was a contestant on Season 21 of NBC’s hit show, the Voice.

Live performances are energetic and dynamic with alt-rock jams featuring rocking cello and moving ballads. Carbon City Lights includes Central Coast locals Bret Heenan (lead guitar), Dan Hernandez (bass), Howard Emmons (drums), and Bob Liepman (cello).

Singer-songwriter, Michael Venia, picked up the guitar while growing up in Saudi Arabia listening to Rick Dees Top 40 international radio hits. As a teen, his talents caught the interest of CNN's Chief International Correspondent, Christiane Amanpour, who featured him in a piece on Western music in the Middle East. After leaving Saudi Arabia, Venia gained traction in the music scene in Toronto, Canada while attending recording arts school before bringing the band to the Central Coast of California.
