Pozo, California / A new music conversation
Some places make you listen a little closer. We’re imagining a meeting point for music, community and the wide-open spirit of California’s Central Coast.
01 / A place with a little more soul
Central Coast, California.
A little off the main road. A lot to talk about.
Pozo has a long memory for gathering around music. Its best-known landmark, Pozo Saloon, dates to 1858 and sits about 17 miles east of Santa Margarita, according to the Saloon’s own history.
Its historical performer roster spans Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, Snoop Dogg and Kendrick Lamar. That breadth is inspiration for a conversation—not a booked lineup for this project.

02 / Leave room for a different sound
A few directions we’d love to explore with musicians and music-minded people.
Songwriters, folk stories, country soul and guitars with something to say.
Reggae, soul and grooves that bring different generations into the same moment.
Central Coast voices alongside new discoveries. A curatorial idea, open for discussion.
03 / Turn up the possibility
A future Pozo Music Festival is taking shape as an idea. Explore the vision, then help us ask the right questions.
