The Front Room and Half Moon Café at Clay on Main, Spring 2024
The Half Moon Café is located in Clay on Main’s building at 313 Main Street, Oley PA.
It’s an intimate listening room that’s the perfect place to unwind, meet friends, reconnect, and relax. Doors open at 7:00 pm to give audiences access to an opening act from 7:15-7:45 in the Front Room while Half Moon artists do their sound check for the 8:00-10:00 concert. Front Room musicians receive compensation through a tip jar (please give generously!). A $15.00 donation at the door to the Half Moon compensates the Half Moon artists and helps to fund Clay on Main. Between the Front Room and Half Moon concerts, and during an intermission in the Half Moon concert, audience members can enjoy complimentary refreshments while browsing the gallery space in Clay on Main and the gift shop which features local artists.
(As a courtesy to its residential neighbors, Clay on Main asks that audience members park in the church lot a few doors down from the venue instead of on Main Street).
The Half Moon Café will return on October 4th! Stay tuned for announcements and dates as we draw closer to the Fall!
**Please be considerate of Clay on Main’s residential neighbors (who park in front of their homes on Main Street) — park in the parking lot for Friedens UCC at 337 Main Street, a few doors from Clay on Main. Enter Clay on Main through the front door into what used to be the living room of the building – now an art gallery. Turn left into what used to be the dining room of the home to enjoy the Dining Room act. Head to the back of the building through the kitchen (still a kitchen), and pick up snacks — chips, dip, pastries, cheese, fruit, coffee, tea, and ice water are provided (BYOB). Continue to the back of the building to the “Half Moon Cafe” for the final concert of the night.
Please bring a few dollars to put in the tip jar for the Dining Room Act and $10 as a donation for the Half Moon Cafe concert. Please bring friends and family. Children are welcome when accompanied by an adult.
