In this episode, Adam sits down with the always soulful and ever-authentic Dan Curcio, frontman of Moonshiner Collective, to talk about the final Under the Moon concert of the season, happening Saturday, September 20th at Marcerro at Dairy Creek Golf Course in San Luis Obispo. These shows have become iconic on the Central Coast, blending music, memory, and the kind of open-air, magic-hour energy that just hits different.

Dan opens up about what makes this setting so special, how the band curates not just a setlist but a vibe, and why sharing the stage with The Silent Comedy this year brings things full circle. From parenting to presence, performance to purpose, this isn’t just another show. It’s a season finale under the stars.
