Highlighting Artists | Sharing Purpose

Count down to 2025-07-12T17:00:00.000Z

Dear Reader

We are about three weeks out from MONfest - how time flies!

As we work behind the scenes to bring together artists, vendors, and musical acts to the Cellar Winery on July 12th we hope you're also getting hyped for our big day.

We launched this newsletter space to share behind the scenes highlights and to communicate with the community who come together for our one day festival and beyond.

We are excited to keep the vibe going leading up to, at the festival, and long after, and we hope you'll stick around to be in the first to know about important things we have in the works!

We're glad you're here - now please enjoy some highlights from our musical acts who will be crafting the sonic background to the joy of coming together around art and wine.

DJ O'SHAE's Set will be from 1-2pm

🕞 2:15 - Teri Underhill

My craft is inspired from my mulit-cultural background. Diversity is number one for me. It's my nature to add Hawaiian Pidgin slang to my words, music, hula, add Caribbean beats to my music. I create in honor of my ancestors, my mother, the heartaches I have faced in the past so I can give a voice to the voiceless.
Teri Underhill

Ris will perform at 3:25pm

🕒4:15 - Rudy Wylde

Live to create, create to inspire. It's been my motto for a while now. Creating is a form of constant self discovery. The more I create the more vulnerable I become. I believe being vulnerable is the most genuine way to inspire people.
Rudy Wylde

🕞5:25 - Talon Bazille

Through his hip-hop performances Talon Bazille uplifts his life and cultural traditions as an artist with Lakota/Dakota heritage.

🕒7:30 - CDISIAC - Headliner

My mission is - to spread the love of music and to get the people dancing again because it feels like somewhere along the way, we've lost the art of connection, the thrill of dancing to great music, and the simple pleasure of living in the moment.
CDISIAC

Who are you most pumped to see? We can't wait to see you on July 12th!

In rural we vibe,
