Beatles Full Moon Concert in the Dark w Live Strings in Wimberley

On the November Full Moon, join us to set intentions and indulge in the mesmerizing allure of live acoustic music performed by world-class musicians under the stars at the Wimberley Valley Winery.

Its a different kind of concert, that begins and ends in darkness, with music, and words from the Beatles surrounding and soothing you.

Audience members will be given the choice of bringing their own camp chairs, laying on yoga matts on a wood deck to gaze at the moon in the sky, or lavish on their own pillows.

A poem or two will be read, and Will Taylor will lead a short connection activity for those that want to go deep with the Full Moon arrival.

Schedule :

6 pm Come early to eat dinner at the Wimberley Valley Winery

730 pm Meet and Greet community connection, setup your space, grab some free cacao, or drinks from Wimberley Valley Winery

8 pm concert in the dark begins

9 pm Closing and Share and community time for attendees

If the weather is cold, we will move into an indoor space on the Wimberley Valley Winery site.

WHAT TO BRING

-If you want to lay on the wood deck, bring a yoga matt, pillows and blankets otherwise a camp chair is recommended

-Water, or a mug for cacao/tea (free with donation)

Side effects may include: relaxation, balancing your nervous system, releasing what no longer serves, feeling whole and connected to nature, being nurtured and cared for by community.

Testimonials

I live in Austin & Love Will Taylor and his music. Even in a town like Austin where musicians are on every corner, Will Stands out With his unique collaborations and concerts, He truly is "One of a Kind." Thank you Will. Please keep your awesome and unique music coming!!!! YOU would be sorely missed were you to leave!!! -Pam B, Ph.D

Thanks for the unbelievable musical service. Will, you take us kicking and connecting with new people who love music and natural life! Then Tony captured the beauty of classical guitar, which for me was delightful, secret toe wiggling while lying on my mat, housed in dark AC while visually surrounded by elms and willows. The hands on energy touch upon request, was an amazing bonus. Can't get any better. Dr. Patty and Bob

Will, last night's show was magnificent. Now I remember why I felt at home when I came to Austin in 1980. There is something precious here, (Holy, actually) and you are a part of that. Thank you. Shara T.

“Unique experience connecting both to nature and to music. A quieter, reflective sidelight on the frenetic Austin tourist experience. Also, a chance to network with some area musicians.”
